How do I contact the shelter about Enrico?

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

Can I adopt Enrico if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhaus-Freunde 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 Enrico 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 Enrico 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 Katzenhaus-Freunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Enrico 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.

Enrico

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Enrico is a curious little guy who, as soon as he hears or sees something, must investigate. He loves to play and roughhouse with his siblings and even tries to do the same with my hands; other toys only interest him moderately. Enrico will be rehomed together with at least one of his siblings or with another kitten around the same age, in an apartment suitable for living with a secured balcony, in a secure outdoor area, or in an outdoor area in a quiet neighborhood. Cat visit/adopt story of the group Erica's Kitten: Erica appeared at a rural inn about a year ago; last year, she had several litters, but all the kittens did not reach adulthood. This year, she chose the hay bale to give birth to her kittens, and when the farmer wanted to store new hay, the innkeepers got involved and contacted animal protection for help. Erica is now allowed to raise her kittens in the safety of a foster home. The kittens will be listed on the website when they are four weeks old; until then, Erica can take care of them in peace. We are looking for a home for Erica with people who can be patient with her and give her time to bond with them. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

DE·Show original

Enrico ist ein neugieriger kleiner Junge, sobald er etwas hört oder sieht, muss er nachschauen gehen. Unbekanntem gegenüber ist er zu Beginn skeptisch. Er spielt gern mit seinen Geschwistern, ist sehr zutraulich lässt sich gern streicheln. Enrico wird nur zu einem ungefähr gleichaltrigen Katerchen vermittelt, in Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon, in gesicherten Freigang oder in Freigang in verkehrsarmer Umgebung. Katze besuchen / adoptieren Geschichte der Gruppe Erica's Kitten Erica tauchte vor ungefähr einem Jahr bei einem Landgasthof auf; letztes Jahr hatte sie mehrmals Kitten, die aber alle das Erwachsenenalter nicht erreichten. Dieses Jahr wählte sie die Heubühne, um ihre Kleinen zu gebären, und als der Landwirt neues Heu einlagern wollte, wurden die Wirtsleute aktiv und fragten den Tierschutz um Hilfe. Erica darf nun ihre Kitten im Schutz der Pflegestelle aufziehen. Die Kitten werden im Alter von vier Wochen auf die Website aufgeschaltet bis dahin darf Erica sich in aller Ruhe um sie kümmern. Für Erica suchen wir ein Zuhause bei Menschen die ihr viel Geduld entgegenbringen und ihr Zeit lassen sich den Menschen anzuschliessen. reserviert Elisa bekommtBesuch Enrico Erica reserviert Evita

About Enrico

What life with Enrico looks like

Enrico is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Katzenhaus-Freunde in Zürich region.

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.
