Cato

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Cato lived for a year with his cat sibling as a house cat with a balcony for an elderly woman. Yes, you can tell that he only knew this woman and this apartment with these sounds!!!! Because he is totally overwhelmed with us and really aggressive! It is getting better day by day, but he definitely needs a quiet home with sensitive, loving, and patient people and maybe even a similar cat! We are not entirely sure about that yet!. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Cato lebte, bis vor einem Jahr mit seinem Katzen-Kollege, bei einer alten Frau als Wohnungskatze mit Balkon. Ja, man merkt, dass er nur die Frau und diese Wohnung mit diesen Geräuschen kannte!!!! Denn er war anfangs total überfordert bei uns und richtig aggressiv! Von Tag zu Tag wurde es besser, aber er braucht sicher ein ruhiges Zuhause bei feinfühligen, liebevollen und geduldigen Menschen und evtl. auch eine solche Katze! Nun ist er richtig angekommen bei uns, ist verschmust, freundlich und liebt es mit den anderen Katzen zusammen zu sein!

About Cato

What life with Cato looks like

Cato is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stiftung Tierheim Nesslau in Nesslau.

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 Cato, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cato?
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 Cato on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cato 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Cato 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 Cato 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 Cato 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.
