Charlotte

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 18 years

Charlotte is a lovely striped and white 18-year-old cat, with a tender gaze and a calming presence. Despite her age, she fully enjoys life... at her own pace. Charlotte is deaf, which certainly does not prevent her from forming a very strong bond with humans. She is extremely affectionate, gentle and kind, always seeking closeness and shared moments. She suffers from kidney insufficiency, without medical treatment. It's just sometimes necessary to encourage her to eat, with patience and kindness. Charlotte lives in an apartment and is looking for a calm, safe home where she can continue to evolve peacefully, surrounded by attention and affection. She needs a balcony to enjoy fresh air and sunlight.

Charlotte est une jolie chatte tigrée et blanche de 18 ans, au regard tendre et à la présence apaisante. Malgré son âge, elle profite pleinement de la vie… à son rythme. Charlotte est sourde, ce qui ne l’empêche absolument pas de créer un lien très fort avec les humains. Elle est extrêmement câline, douce et gentille, toujours en quête de proximité et de moments partagés. Elle souffre d’une insuffisance rénale, sans traitement médicamenteux. Il faut simplement parfois l’encourager à manger, avec patience et bienveillance. Charlotte vit en appartement et recherche un foyer calme, sécurisant, où elle pourra continuer à évoluer sereinement, entourée d’attention et d’affection. Elle a besoin d’un balcon pour profiter de l’air frais et du soleil.

About Charlotte

What life with Charlotte looks like

Charlotte is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats in Switzerland.

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 Charlotte, answered.

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