How do I contact the shelter about Croks?

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

Can I adopt Croks if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zürcher Tierschutz 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 Croks 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 Croks 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 Zürcher Tierschutz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Croks 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.

Croks

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 3 years

The two sweet cats, Crocks and Chino, came to us because they could no longer go outside after a move, which was especially difficult for Chino. When a small child then joined the family, Crocks also showed that the new situation was too much for her. Since the baby joined the family, Crocks had been unsanitary in phases, but she has not shown this behavior with us so far. She uses the cat litter box properly and is although reserved, but still friendly and curious, if given the necessary time and space. Chino is currently still quite overwhelmed with us and spends most of his time withdrawn in his hiding spots. He certainly also needs some time in the new home to get settled and warm up. Both four-legged friends are very loving, attentive, and according to their previous owners, also very cuddly. We are looking for a joint home in a quiet household with rural outdoor access.

Die beiden süssen Katzen Crocks und Chino kamen zu uns, weil sie nach einem Umzug nicht mehr nach draussen konnten, was besonders Chino grosse Mühe bereitete. Als dann zusätzlich ein Kleinkind zur Familie dazukam, zeigte auch Crocks, dass ihr die neue Situation zu viel wurde. Seit das Baby zur Familie gehörte, war Crocks phasenweise immer wieder unsauber, was sie bei uns bisher jedoch nicht zeigt. Sie benutzt brav das Katzenklo und zeigt sich zwar zurückhaltend, aber dennoch zutraulich und neugierig, wenn man ihr die nötige Zeit und Ruhe gibt. Chino ist aktuell noch ziemlich überfordert bei uns und verbringt die meiste Zeit zurückgezogen in seinen Verstecken. Er benötigt sicherlich auch im neuen Zuhause etwas Zeit, um sich zurechtzufinden und aufzutauen. Beide Vierbeiner sind sehr lieb, aufmerksam und gemäss Vorbesitzer*innen auch sehr verschmust. Für die beiden suchen wir ein gemeinsames Zuhause in einem ruhigen Daheim mit ländlichem Freilauf.

About Croks

What life with Croks looks like

Croks is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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.
