Frederico ist ein abenteuerlustiger, aktiver und aufgeweckter Kater mit einem hohen Energielevel. Er ist lebendig, neugierig und spielfreudig und liebt es, seine Umgebung zu erkunden und immer wieder neue Abenteuer zu erleben. Mit seiner geselligen und selbstbewussten Art ist Frederico ein echter Sonnenschein. Er ist lieb, loyal und zutraulich und geniesst die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Besonders gerne lässt er sich verwöhnen und zeigt sich dabei verschmust und handzahm. Auch beim Tierarzt bleibt Frederico umgänglich, was ihn zu einem unkomplizierten Begleiter macht. Sein fröhliches und verspieltes Wesen macht ihn zu einem ganz besonderen Kater. Für Frederico suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause in einer ländlichen Gegend. Wir würden uns wünschen, dass er gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder in sein neues Zuhause ziehen und die Welt entdecken kann. Er sollte genügend Platz und Möglichkeiten haben, seinem Entdeckerdrang nachzugehen und sich rundum wohlzufühlen.

About Frederico

What life with Frederico looks like

Frederico is a kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim beider Basel in Basel.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Frederico, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frederico?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim beider Basel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Frederico on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frederico if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim beider Basel 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Frederico 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 Frederico 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 Tierheim beider Basel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Frederico 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.
