How do I contact the shelter about Ellie?

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

Can I adopt Ellie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Waisenkatzen.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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Ellie 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 Ellie 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 Waisenkatzen.ch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ellie 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.

Ellie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 2 months

Ellie was born around March 2026. The very cute kitten Ellie and her sibling Gracie were found together in a bush, barely 3 weeks old, and were left exposed. A rescuer bottle-fed them with milk. When they were old enough, they were allowed to move into the rescue station together. The little Spanish cat Ellie is curious, playful, loves cuddles, and is very attached to humans. She would surely appreciate gentle strokes from children's hands. Now, Ellie wishes for a home with a Gspändli (a small dog) with a FREEGANG (far away from busy roads) or with a large secured terrace, balcony, or secured garden. Perhaps Ellie will be lucky and can move into her new home in Glück together with her sibling Gracie. Ellie has been tested, microchipped, and vaccinated and will be rehomed with the animal protection letter (including spay/neuter requirement). This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Ellie wurde ca. im März 2026 geboren. Das sehr hübsche Katzenkind Ellie und sein Geschwisterchen Gracie wurden mit knapp 3 Wochen zusammen ausgesetzt in einem Gebüsch gefunden. Eine Tierschützerin päppelte sie mit der Milchflasche auf. Als sie genug alt waren, durften sie gemeinsam in die Auffangstation ziehen. Die kleine Spanierin Ellie ist neugierig, verspielt, liebt Streicheleinheiten und ist dem Menschen sehr zugetan. Sicher würde sie sich über sanft streichelnde Kinderhände freuen. Nun wünscht sich Ellie ein Zuhause zu einem Gspändli mit FREIGANG (weit weg von stark befahrenen Strassen) oder mit einer grossen gesicherten Terrasse, Balkon oder gesichertem Garten. Vielleicht hat Ellie Glück und darf zusammen mit ihrem Geschwisterchen Gracie in ihr neues Zuhause im Glück ziehen. Ellie ist getestet, gechippt und geimpft und wird mit dem Tierschutzbrief (inkl. Kastrationspflicht) vermittelt.

About Ellie

What life with Ellie looks like

Ellie is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Waisenkatzen.ch in Waisenkatzen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇨🇭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.
