How do I contact the shelter about Emily + Emma?

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

Can I adopt Emily + Emma if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Schwyz 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 Emily + Emma 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 Emily + Emma 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 Tierschutz Schwyz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Emily + Emma 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.

Emily + Emma

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 5 months

Emma (black and white) and Emily (tiger with white), born in April 2026, are two sweet explorers looking for a new home. They were tested positive for FIV. FIV stands for the "Feline Immunodeficiency Virus" - an immune deficiency disease similar to HIV in humans. The transmission among cats occurs mainly through bite injuries. For Emma and Emily, this positive test means that they are either: infected with FIV (cats then remain carriers of the virus for life) or not infected, but have antibodies from the mother's milk in their blood. Since the mother was FIV-positive, these antibodies were transmitted to the kittens through the mother's milk. The virus itself is rarely transmitted from the mother to the kittens. These antibodies can remain detectable in the blood until the age of about 6 months. Therefore, the two should be retested at 6 months. We would like to place Emily and Emma together in indoor housing. Information about FIV can be found here: They are tested, vaccinated, chipped and dewormed. Do you want to meet the two? You can reach us by email or phone: 44 (Mo to Fr: )

Wer öffnet sein Herz (und seine Wohnung) für diese zwei süssen Entdecker? Emma (schwarz-weiss) und Emily (getigert mit weiss), geboren im April 2026, suchen ein neues Zuhause. Die zwei wurden positiv auf FIV getestet. FIV steht für das «Feline Immundefizienz-Virus» – eine Immunschwäche-Erkrankung, ähnlich wie HIV beim Menschen. Die Übertragung unter Katzen erfolgt vorwiegend durch Bissverletzungen. Bei Emma und Emily bedeutet dieser positive Test, dass sie entweder: mit FIV infiziert sind (Katzen bleiben dann ein Leben lang Träger des Virus) oder nicht infiziert sind, jedoch Antikörper aus der Muttermilch im Blut aufweisen. Da die Mutter FIV-positiv war, wurden diese Antikörper über die Muttermilch auf die Kitten übertragen. Das Virus selbst wird nur selten von der Mutter auf die Kitten übertragen. Diese Antikörper können bis zum Alter von etwa 6 Monaten im Blut nachweisbar bleiben. Mit 6 Monaten sollten die zwei deshalb nochmals nachgetestet werden. Wir möchten Emily und Emma zusammen in Wohnungshaltung vermitteln. Informationen zu FIV finden Sie zum Beispiel hier: Sie sind getestet, geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Möchtest du die zwei kennenlernen? Du erreichst uns entweder per E-Mail oder telefonisch: 44 (Mo bis Fr: , )

About Emily + Emma

What life with Emily + Emma looks like

Emily + Emma is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutz Schwyz in Switzerland.

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.
