Cherry

Mixed Breed · Female · 31 months

Cherry is our cautious, reserved little girl cat. At first, she needs a lot of patience. Now, Cherry wants us to pet her. But she's not really brave enough. So she comes closer, but not too close, and stretches out. If we also stretch out our arm, we can pet her. She really enjoys that. Otherwise, Cherry likes to talk to us and calls out for us when we're around the corner. She's a very good and agile climber and would need many opportunities for that.

DE·Show original

Cherry ist unser vorsichtiges, zurückhaltendes Katzenmädchen. Am Anfang braucht sie viel Geduld. Inzwischen ist es so, dass Cherry sich von uns Streicheleinheiten wünscht. Sich aber nicht so recht getraut. Also kommt sie näher, aber nicht zu nah, und macht sich richtig lang. Wenn wir unseren Arm auch lang machen, können wir sie streicheln. Das geniesst sie dann sehr. Ansonsten spricht Cherry gerne mit uns und ruft nach uns, wenn wir grad um die Ecke sind. Sie ist eine sehr gute und flinke Kletterin und bräuchte entsprechend viele Möglichkeiten dafür.

About Cherry

What life with Cherry looks like

Cherry is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tiervermittlungen.ch in Elsau.

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 Cherry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cherry?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiervermittlungen.ch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cherry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cherry if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiervermittlungen.ch 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cherry 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 Cherry 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 Tiervermittlungen.ch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cherry 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.
