Chaps

Scottish Fold · Male · Young · 3 years

The charming Chaps came to us at our shelter, because his former owners unfortunately could no longer give him the attention and time he deserves. The laid-back tomcat has quickly adapted to shelter life. Within a short time, he has chosen his personal favorite den and, if left to his own devices, would only leave it for the most important things: fine snacks and extensive cuddles. Chaps is, in fact, a real cuddle warrior. He especially loves head scratches, which he takes to the extreme, purring at top volume and drooling, completely forgetting the world around him. Sometimes he gets so caught up in his cuddle euphoria that he needs a little break in between. Originally, Chaps came to the animal shelter together with Petticoat and Knickerbocker. As he is an uncomplicated and social tomcat, we can either rehome him together with Petticoat or to a quiet cat that would be happy to have a friendly roommate. Dogs and small children do not fit into Chaps's vision of a relaxed home. With older children, however, he should get along well. Chaps has not yet experienced life on the loose. Since he is still young, we would like to give him the opportunity to discover the world beyond the living room window, so we are looking for a home with a rural outdoor space for him.

Der charmante Chaps kam zu uns ins Tierheim, weil seine ehemaligen Halter ihm leider nicht mehr die Aufmerksamkeit und Zeit schenken konnten, die er verdient. An den Tierheimalltag hat sich der gemütliche Kater schnell gewöhnt. Schon nach kurzer Zeit hat er seine persönliche Lieblingshöhle auserkoren und wenn es nach ihm ginge, würde er diese nur für die wichtigsten Dinge verlassen: feine Snacks und ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten. Chaps ist nämlich ein echter Kampfschmuser. Besonders Kopfkraulen findet er grossartig. Dann legt er den Schnurrmotor auf Höchststufe ein, beginnt zu sabbern und vergisst die Welt um sich herum. Manchmal steigert er sich so sehr in seine Schmuse-Euphorie hinein, dass man ihm zwischendurch eine kleine Verschnaufpause gönnen muss. Ursprünglich kam Chaps gemeinsam mit Petticoat und Knickerbocker ins Tierheim. Da er ein unkomplizierter und sozialer Kater ist, vermitteln wir ihn entweder zusammen mit Petticoat oder zu einer ruhigen Katze, die sich über einen freundlichen Mitbewohner freuen würde. Hunde und kleine Kinder gehören nicht zu Chaps Wunschvorstellungen eines entspannten Zuhauses. Mit älteren Kindern dürfte er hingegen gut zurechtkommen. Das Freigängerleben kennt Chaps bisher noch nicht. Da er aber noch jung ist und wir ihm die Möglichkeit geben möchten, die Welt ausserhalb des Wohnzimmerfensters zu entdecken, suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause mit ländlichem Freigang.

About Chaps

What life with Chaps looks like

Chaps is a young adult scottish fold animal waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich (Cantonal).

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Chaps far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇨🇭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 Chaps, answered.

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