How do I contact the shelter about Anika?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhaus-Freunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Anika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Anika if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhaus-Freunde will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Anika already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Anika isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Katzenhaus-Freunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Anika and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Anika

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Anika is a very sweet, cuddly female kitten. She absolutely needs another kitten to play with. She immediately wraps people around her little paws. Visit/adopt cats—History of the Strohsternli group. These three adorable kittens didn't have an easy start in life. They were born to a feral mother cat at a straw-drying facility. Since the location was far too dangerous due to tractors and trucks—and one of their siblings had already been run over—we captured the little family. Unfortunately, the mother cat was in poor health and had to be euthanized. However, her three little ones are healthy, lively, and ready for a loving home. Anika was found as a single kitten because she had tried to run into the coop. She probably hitched a ride in a car and ended up appearing right in front of the coop. She was allowed to join the Strohsternli group so that she could grow up with other kittens. 1.8.26 Maja unfortunately came from the

Anika ist eine ganz liebe verschmuste Kätzin. Sie braucht unbedingt ein anderes Kitten zum Spielen. Sie wickelt die Menschen sofort um ihre Pfötchen. Katze besuchen / adoptieren Geschichte der Gruppe Strohsternli Diese drei süssen Kitten hatten keinen einfachen Start ins Leben. Sie wurden von einer wilden Katzenmutter bei einer Strohtrocknungsanlage geboren. Da der Ort mit Traktoren und Lastwagen viel zu gefährlich war und bereits ein Geschwister überfahren wurde, haben wir die kleine Familie eingefangen. Die Katzenmama war leider in schlechtem gesundheitlichem Zustand und musste erlöst werden. Ihre drei Kleinen sind jedoch gesund, munter und bereit für ein liebevolles Zuhause. Anika wurde als einzelnes Kitten gefunden, da es versucht hat in den Coop reinzurennen. Sie ist vermutlich mit einem Auto mitgefahren und deshalb vor dem Coop aufgetaucht. Sie durfte in die Gruppe Strohsternli einziehen damit sie mit anderen Kitten aufwachsen darf. 1.8.26 Maja kam leider aus der

About Anika

What life with Anika looks like

Anika is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Katzenhaus-Freunde in Zürich region.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
