Bernie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 3 months

Bernie was born around April 2026. Bernie and his brother suddenly appeared in a chicken coop at a neighbor's refuge. Since they were old enough and no longer needed a mother, they were brought to the shelter. The light-colored, spotted Spanish Bernie is very friendly, loves cuddles, loves to play and is very attached to humans. Now Bernie wants a home with a companion with FREE RANGE (far away from busy roads). Maybe Bernie will be lucky and can move in with his brother Trotzki to his home in happiness. Bernie is tested, chipped and vaccinated and will be placed with the animal welfare letter (including castration requirement).

DE·Show original

Bernie wurde ca. im April 2026 geboren. Bernie und sein Brüderchen tauchten plötzlich in einem Hühnerstall bei einem Refugio-Nachbarn auf. Da sie bereits alt genug waren und keine Mutter mehr brauchten, wurden sie in die Auffangstation gebracht. Der hell getigerte Spanier Bernie ist sehr freundlich, liebt Streicheleinheiten, spielt für sein Leben gern und ist dem Menschen sehr zugetan. Nun wünscht sich Bernie ein Zuhause zu einem Gspändli mit FREIGANG (weit weg von stark befahrenen Strassen). Vielleicht hat Bernie Glück und darf zusammen mit seinem Brüderchen Trotzki in sein Zuhause im Glück ziehen. Bernie ist getestet, gechippt und geimpft und wird mit dem Tierschutzbrief (inkl. Kastrationspflicht) vermittelt.

About Bernie

What life with Bernie looks like

Bernie is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Waisenkatzen.ch in Waisenkatzen.

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 Bernie, answered.

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