Beat

Male · Senior · 13 years

Beat came back to us because it didn't work out in his new home. The first days he was a bit suspicious of us and hid. Now he has completely opened up. He meows a lot and lets us pet him and lovingly scratch his chin. We wish for our senior a quiet home without much commotion. Preferably without children and other pets. A home where he can be the center of attention with his caregivers and receive a lot of love and affection. As soon as Beat feels at home in his new place, he longs for a large and exciting territory to roam, far from busy roads. If interested, please fill out the application form for cats. Breed: EHK Breeding country: Switzerland Location: Switzerland Sex: male, neutered Date of birth: 07.04.2013 Keeping: Free-range in a quiet territory At the shelter since: again since September 2026

Beat kam wieder zu uns zurück, weil es im neuen Zuhause leider nicht geklappt hat. Die ersten Tage war er uns gegenüber wieder etwas misstrauisch und hat sich versteckt. Nun hat er sich aber vollkommen geöffnet. Er miaut ausgiebig und lässt sich von uns streicheln und liebevoll am Kinn kraulen. Wir wünschen uns für unseren Senioren ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Tumult. Am liebsten ohne Kinder und weitere Vierbeiner. Ein Daheim wo er bei seinen Bezugspersonen im Mittelpunkt stehen darf und sehr viel Liebe und Zuneigung bekommt. Sobald Beat sich am neuen Ort, zuhause fühlt, sehnt er sich nach einem weitläufigen & spannenden Streifgebiet, fernab von stark befahrenen Straßen. Bei Interesse füllen Sie bitte das Bewerbungsformular für Katzen aus. Rasse: EHK Zuchtland: Schweiz Aufenthaltsort: Schweiz Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: 07.04.2013 Haltung: Freigang in ein ruhiges Streifgebiet Im Tierheim seit: wieder seit September 2026

About Beat

What life with Beat looks like

Beat is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierhotel Arche Chur in Switzerland.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇨🇭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 Beat, answered.

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