Berry

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

Berry, around 2011, seems not to have felt so well in his previous home: he had been aggressive towards fellow animals and people (he was also unneutered!!!). Here, he shows himself to be cautious but decent, and we think he would probably feel most comfortable in a quiet household with sensitive people and without other animals. Unfortunately, a thyroid overfunction was diagnosed in him. This is shown by his rather scruffy fur and his tendency to lick himself bald. Therefore, he needs liquid medication administered twice daily. Who will give the senior another home in security?

Berry, ca. 2011, ist ein vorsichtiger, aber anständiger Kater und wir denken, dass er sich in einem ruhigen Haushalt bei feinfühligen Menschen und ohne andere Tiere am wohlsten fühlen würde. Leider wurde bei ihm eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion diagnostiziert, darum braucht er 2x täglich ein flüssiges Medikament ins Maul. Wer gibt dem Senior noch ein Zuhause in Geborgenheit?

About Berry

What life with Berry looks like

Berry is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Stiftung Tierheim Nesslau in Nesslau.

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 Berry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Berry?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stiftung Tierheim Nesslau handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Berry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Berry if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stiftung Tierheim Nesslau 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Berry 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 Berry 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 Stiftung Tierheim Nesslau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Berry 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.
