Charleston

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Our lovely ginger, neutered, arrived in February 2026 due to an environmental distress caused by too much loneliness. Charleston is now looking for a very present family living in an apartment, without dogs. He is a very kind, playful and affectionate cat who is used to living with young children. Regarding his health, Charleston has some issues related to his urinary system. Firstly, one of his kidneys is atrophied, which makes the second one compensate. He previously had bladder stones that required surgery. Since then, his bladder remains permanently dilated, even when it's empty. This does not prevent him from being clean, except for a few small accidents despite himself. He is currently on medical food and treatment to help his bladder function properly.

Notre joli rouquin, castré, est arrivé en février 2026 suite à un malaise environnemental lié à trop de solitude. Charleston est maintenant à la recherche d’une famille très présente et vivant en appartement, sans chiens. C’est un chat très gentil, joueur et câlin qui a eu l’habitude de vivre avec de jeunes enfants. Concernant sa santé, Charleston connaît quelques problèmes liés à son système urinaire. En premier lieu, un de ses reins est atrophié, ce qui fait que le 2eme doit compenser. Il a eu par le passé des calculs dans sa vessie qui ont nécessité des opérations. Depuis, sa vessie reste dilatée en permanence, même quand elle est vide. Cela ne lui empêche pas d’être propre sauf quelques petits accidents malgré lui. Il est actuellement sous nourriture médicale et traitement pour l’aider au bon fonctionnement de sa vessie.

About Charleston

What life with Charleston looks like

Charleston is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Oasis des vétérans.

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 Charleston, answered.

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