How do I contact the shelter about Falco?

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

Can I adopt Falco if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzbund Basel Regional 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 Falco 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 Falco 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 Tierschutzbund Basel Regional early rather than rehoming privately; they know Falco 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.

Falco

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Falco must be given up with a heavy heart because his owner has suffered a serious health setback and can no longer take care of him independently. Falco is a friendly, people-oriented, and loving companion. He gets along well with fellow animals, simply ignoring the cats. He enjoys car rides and still loves to go for long walks outside despite his age. Falco can also stay alone at home sometimes. Ideally, he needs people who would like to give him a quieter and safer home where he can spend his golden years cared for and loved. He could also be part of a family. Falco is vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for rehoming. If you are interested in our dogs and would like to meet them informally, please apply using the button below, and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding if the processing of your request takes a little longer.

DE·Show original

Falco muss schweren Herzens abgegeben werden, weil sein Herrchen gesundheitlich einen schweren Schicksalsschlag erlitten hat und sich selbstständig nicht mehr um ihn kümmern kann. Falco ist ein freundlicher, menschenbezogener und lieber Weggefährte. Er verträgt sich gut mit Artgenossen, Katzen ignoriert er einfach. Er fährt gerne Auto und liebt es trotz seines Alters noch draussen lange spazieren zu gehen. Falco kann zwischendurch auch mal alleine Zuhause bleiben. Idealerweise braucht er Menschen, die ihm ein ruhigeres und sicheres Zuhause schenken möchten, wo er seinen Lebensabend umsorgt und geliebt verbringen darf. Gerne auch zu einer Familie. Falco wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 350.– vermittelt. Falls Sie Interesse an unseren Hunden haben und sie unverbindlich kennenlernen möchten, bewerben Sie sich mit untenstehenden Button und wir werden uns baldmöglichst mit Ihnen in Verbindung setzen.

About Falco

What life with Falco looks like

Falco is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

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.
