Adopt Chato

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 1 year

Male, neutered. Born: ca. 3 February 2025European ShorthairMay we introduce Chato to you? He was found in a poor condition in a colony by Proda. It is believed he was abandoned because the owners no longer wanted to take care of him. Currently, Chato has been living on a foster home since December 1, 2025, where he is well cared for until we find his new home. On the foster home, Chato is open and affectionate towards people but is a bit dominant towards other cats. Therefore, he can only be rehomed into a home without other cats. We are looking for a family for this handsome tomcat where he receives enough attention and where he is taken care of.

Männlich, kastriert. Geboren: ca. 3. Februar 2025Europäisch KurzhaarDürfen wir euch Chato vorstellen? Er wurde in einem schlechten Zustand in einer Kolonie vom Verein Proda gefunden. Vermutlich wurde er dort ausgesetzt, weil sich die Besitzer nicht mehr um ihn kümmern wollten. Aktuell lebt Chato seit dem 1. Dezember 2025 auf einer Pflegestelle, welche ihn gut versorgt, bis wir für ihn sein neues Zuhause gefunden haben.Auf der Pflegestelle zeigt sich Chato Menschen gegenüber aufgeschlossen und lieb. Gegenüber anderen Katzen ist er etwas dominant. Er wird daher nur in ein Zuhause vermittelt ohne weitere Katzen. Wir suchen für den hübschen Kater eine Familie, wo er genügend Aufmerksamkeit bekommt und man sich mit ihm beschäftigt.

About Chato

What life with Chato looks like

Chato is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

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 Chato, answered.

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