How do I contact the shelter about Charly &#8211?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzbund Basel Regional handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Charly &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Charly &#8211 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzbund Basel Regional 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 Charly &#8211 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 Charly &#8211 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 Tierschutzbund Basel Regional early rather than rehoming privately; they know Charly &#8211 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.

Charly &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

Charly (30cm) originally came from Spain, where he was found alone and unfortunately no owners could be found. Since early March 2024, he has been in a foster home in the Canton of Zürich, where he is being prepared for his new home. He lives there with another small male dog and also with cats. Charly is a friendly companion who gets along well with other animals and likes cats. He is interested and clever. He enjoys being on the go, learns quickly, and always wants to experience a lot. He needs people who can give him a relaxed, peaceful home and environment. He would also be happy to join a family with responsible children (ideally from the age of 14). Charly is compatible as a second dog, but at home he prefers to be a solo prince. Charly is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, tested for Mediterranean diseases, and cleared. He is available for 650.—. If you are interested in Charly and would like to meet him informally, you can apply using the button below, and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding if the processing of your request takes a little longer. We do our best to respond as soon as possible. However, it may happen that many inquiries come in at once or that our resources are temporarily urgently needed elsewhere.

Charly (30cm) stammt ursprünglich aus Spanien, wo er alleine aufgefunden wurde und leider keine Halter:innen ausfindeig gemacht werden konnten. Seit Anfang März 2024 befindet er sich nun auf einer Pflegestelle im Kanton Zürich, wo er bestens auf sein neues Zuhause vorbereitet wird. Dort lebt er mit einem anderen kleinen Rüden zusammen und auch mit Katzen. Charly ist ein freundlicher Weggefährte, der sich gut mit Artgenossen versteht und Katzen mag. Er ist interessiert und clever. Er mag es unterwegs zu sein, lernt gerne und schnell und möchte stets viel erleben. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm ein entspanntes, ruhiges Zuhause und Umfeld schenken können. Gerne auch zu einer Familie mit verantwortungsvollen Kindern (ideal ab 14 Jahren). Charly ist als Zweithund verträglich, ist Zuhause aber lieber Einzelprinz. Charly ist geimpft, gechippt, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet und verzollt. Er wird mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von SFr. 650.— nach vorheriger Platzvorkontrolle vermittelt. Falls Sie Interesse an Charly haben und ihn unverbindlich kennenlernen möchten, können Sie sich mit unten stehendem Button bewerben und wir werden uns baldmöglichst mit Ihnen in Verbindung setzen.

About Charly &#8211

What life with Charly &#8211 looks like

Charly &#8211 is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

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.
