How do I contact the shelter about Argos?

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

Can I adopt Argos if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzbund Basel Regional 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 Argos 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 Argos 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 Tierschutzbund Basel Regional early rather than rehoming privately; they know Argos 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.

Argos

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Argos (65 cm tall) was found alone and without a human companion in Spain. Now he is in Switzerland with us, searching for an appropriate home. Argos is friendly and people-oriented. He loves being around people, whether they are big or small. He gets along well with fellow animals, but give him a little time for introductions. He doesn’t quite get along with cats. On the current foster home, where he is waiting for a new home, he lives problemlessly in the community and with several Galgos in a pack. Argos is vaccinated, microchipped, and in cooperation with the Tierschutzbund Basel Regional he will be rehomed (more about Argos here: Argos ).

Argos (65 cm gross) wurde in Spanien auf sich alleine gestellt und ohne zugehörigen Menschen aufgefunden. Nun befindet er sich bei uns in der Schweiz auf der Suche nach einem geeigneten Zuhause. Argos ist zutraulich und menschenbezogen. Er liebt es unter Menschen zusein, egal ob gross oder klein. Mit verträgt sich gut Artgenossen, gibt man ihm für die Zusammenführung bisschen Zeit. Katzen finde er nicht ganz so toll. Auf der aktuellen Pflegestelle, wo er auf ein neues Zuhause wartet, lebt er problemlos in der Gemeinschaft und im Rudel mit mehreren Galgos zusammen. Argos wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag, gegen eine Schutzgebühr (CHF 600.-) und in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Tierschutzbund Basel Regional vermittelt (nach vorheriger Platzvorkontrolle).

About Argos

What life with Argos looks like

Argos is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇨🇭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.
