How do I contact the shelter about Ferris?

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 Ferris on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ferris 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 Ferris 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 Ferris 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 Ferris 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.

Ferris

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Ferris a sweet little kitten just discovering his small world. He likes to play with his siblings and test out his new skills. The story of the group Mica's Kitten began when Mica was noticed by a loving family. She was completely emaciated and was searching for food. An immediate report was made to STMZ, who took Mica in, brought her to the vet, and helped her regain her strength. Mica's condition improved over time, but her belly kept getting rounder. The vet discovered that Mica was pregnant. Since the family was still on vacation and otherwise very busy, they asked us to take care of Mica. She was allowed to give birth to her kittens in a foster home in peace. Once she had completed her motherly duties, she could return to the family that had taken a special liking to her. Then Mia joined the group, found alone in a garage with no sign of her mother or siblings. Mia is listed at STMZ. To ensure the little one wouldn't grow up alone without her mother and siblings, we integrated her into Mica's Kitten. When she's old enough, she can also return to her finder. The other kittens search for homes in pairs or with a similarly aged sibling in a rural area, far from busy roads, where they can enjoy their outdoor time through a cat flap after an adjustment period. This cat needs outdoor access.

Ferris ein zuckersüßes Kitten, das gerade seine kleine Welt entdeckt. Er spielt gerne mit seinen Geschwistern und testet seine neuen Fähigkeiten. Katze besuchen / adoptieren Geschichte der Gruppe Mica's Kitten Mica ist einer tierlieben Familie aufgefallen. Sie war völlig abgemagert und hat nach Futter gesucht. Es wurde sofort eine Meldung auf STMZ gemacht. Sie haben Mica bei sich aufgenommen zum Tierarzt gebracht und aufgepäppelt. Mica ging es zunehmend besser, allerdings wurde ihr Bauch immer runder. Der Tierarzt stellte fest, dass Mica trächtig ist. Da die Familie noch in Urlaub fuhr und auch sonst beruflich sehr eingespannt sind um sich noch um Kitten zu kümmern, wurden wir angefragt. Mica durfte auf der Pflegestelle in aller Ruhe ihre Kitten gebären. Wenn sie ihre Arbeit als Mutter erledigt hat, darf sie zurück zu der Familie, die Mica sehr in ihr Herz geschlossen haben. Dann kam noch Mia dazu, sie wurde mutterseelenallein in einer Garage aufgefunden. Von der Mama oder anderen Kitten war keine Spur. Mia ist im STMZ ausgeschrieben. Damit die Kleine nicht alleine, ohne Mama und Geschwister groß wird, konnten wir sie zu Mica‘s Kitten integrieren. Auch sie darf, wenn sie groß genug ist zurück zur Finderin. Die anderen Kitten suchen zu zweit, oder zu einem ähnlich alten Gspänli ein Zuhause in ländlicher Gegend, fernab von stark befahrenen Strassen, wo sie nach der Eingewöhnungszeit ihren Freigang durch eine Katzenklappe geniessen können. bekommtBesuch Feivel bekommtBesuch Ferris Fienchen reserviert Fiete Fips reserviert Mia

About Ferris

What life with Ferris looks like

Ferris is a 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.
