Astro

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Astro ist ein bezaubernder kleiner Kater mit einer grossen Portion Lebensfreude. Er ist abenteuerlustig, aktiv und stets neugierig darauf, seine Umgebung zu entdecken. Mit seiner aufgeweckten, aufmerksamen Art entgeht ihm nichts, und sein charmanter, manchmal frecher Charakter sorgt immer wieder für ein Schmunzeln. Der fröhliche und gesellige Jungkater ist sehr menschenbezogen, handzahm und verschmust. Astro ist lebhaft, verspielt und mutig, dabei aber gleichzeitig lieb, loyal und ausgesprochen zutraulich. Dank seines selbstbewussten und sozialen Wesens findet er sich schnell in neuen Situationen zurecht. Auch Tierarztbesuche meistert Astro unkompliziert und gelassen. Bei ihm besteht ein Nabelbruch, der im Rahmen der Kastration behoben werden sollte. Mit anderen Katzen ist er gut verträglich und genießt deren Gesellschaft. Für Astro wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause in einer ländlichen Gegend, wo er nach entsprechender Eingewöhnungszeit die Möglichkeit hat, seine Abenteuerlust auch draussen auszuleben. Menschen, die ihm Aufmerksamkeit, Geborgenheit und ausreichend Beschäftigung schenken, werden in ihm einen treuen und anhänglichen Begleiter finden. Die beiden sind unzertrennlich, verstehen sich hervorragend, spielen viel miteinander und geben sich gegenseitig Sicherheit. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für Astro und Stella ein gemeinsames Zuhause, in dem sie weiterhin Seite an Seite die Welt entdecken und gemeinsam aufwachsen dürfen.

About Astro

What life with Astro looks like

Astro is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim beider Basel in Basel.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Astro, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Astro?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim beider Basel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Astro on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Astro if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim beider Basel 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 Astro 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 Astro 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 Tierheim beider Basel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Astro 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.
