Dusty & Shiva

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 3 years

Dusty Male, neutered European domestic cat Born: approx. May 2020 Origin Switzerland Foster home Switzerland (Uri)Shiva Female, neutered European domestic cat Born: June 1, 2023 Origin Switzerland Foster home Switzerland (Uri)Dusty is a friendly tomcat who enjoys being stroked, but decides when he has had enough. He was found as a tiny kitten with a cold and saved from the animal shelter. Shiva is a slender, rather insecure cat who is very people-oriented and looks up to her friend Dusty. Both lost their home through no fault of their own and would like to stay together and find a new home soon. We are looking for a quiet, rural home for the friendly cats Dusty and Shiva with people who have patience and understanding, without children. They could be rehomed as indoor cats with secure outdoor access or, in a traffic-calmed area, as outdoor cats. They are accustomed to dogs.Dusty and Shiva are chipped, vaccinated and tested negative for Fiv & Felv.

About Dusty & Shiva

What life with Dusty & Shiva looks like

Dusty & Shiva is a small 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 Dusty & Shiva, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dusty & Shiva?: 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 Dusty & Shiva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dusty & Shiva 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Dusty & Shiva 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 Dusty & Shiva 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 Dusty & Shiva 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.
