Bohème

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Bohème is a lovely 6-year-old cat who is sweet and friendly but doesn't reveal herself at first glance. She is a bit reserved when she doesn't know someone, needing time to settle in and trust. But with patience, gentleness, and a lot of kindness, Bohème gradually reveals another side of herself. When she feels confident, she bonds with her human and enjoys the relationship that develops at her own pace. We are looking for a calm and peaceful home for her, without young children or other animals. Bohème deserves to find a home where she can take the time to flourish and let a lovely bond grow. With her, every small step towards trust becomes a beautiful reward.

Cottendart 7 – 2013 Colombier (NE) Sexe : Femelle stérilisée Bohème, une jolie rencontre à apprivoiser Bohème est une adorable chatte de 6 ans, douce et sympathique, qui ne se dévoile simplement pas au premier regard. Un peu réservée lorsqu’elle ne connaît pas, elle a besoin de temps pour prendre ses marques et accorder sa confiance. Mais avec de la patience, de la douceur et beaucoup de bienveillance, Bohème révèle peu à peu une autre facette d’elle-même. Lorsqu’elle se sent en confiance, elle s’attache à son humain et apprécie la relation qui se crée, à son rythme. Nous lui recherchons donc un foyer calme et paisible, sans jeunes enfant, ni autres animaux. Bohème mérite aujourd’hui de trouver un foyer où elle pourra prendre le temps de s’épanouir et laisser grandir une jolie complicité. Avec elle, chaque petit pas vers la confiance devient une belle récompense.

About Bohème

What life with Bohème looks like

Bohème is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge de Cottendart in Switzerland.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bohème, answered.

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