Adopt Erin

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

The little whirlwind Erin loves nothing more than spending time in the garden, chasing the tiny flies, and climbing the orange trees. That’s why she’s looking for a family that would love a feisty companion and where there are many hands for petting and lots of time for playing. Erin can live in free roam as a single cat or with a well-socialized first-time cat. This cat needs outdoor access.

Der kleine Wirbelwind Erin liebt nichts mehr, als Zeit im Garten zu verbringen, den kleinen Fliegen nachzujagen und die Orangenbäume zu erklimmen. Deshalb sucht sie eine Familie, die gerne eine temperamentvolle Begleitung haben und wo viele Hände zum Streicheln und Zeit zum Spielen vorhanden sind. Erin kann sowohl als Einzelkatze in Freigang leben oder mit einer gut sozialisierten Erstkatze zusammen leben.

About Erin

What life with Erin looks like

Erin is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at ArchePfötli in Archepfoetli.

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 Erin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Erin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ArchePfötli handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Erin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Erin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ArchePfötli 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 Erin 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 Erin 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 ArchePfötli early rather than rehoming privately; they know Erin 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.
