How do I contact the shelter about Gioconda?

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

Can I adopt Gioconda if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Waisenkatzen.ch 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 Gioconda 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 Gioconda 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 Waisenkatzen.ch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gioconda 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.

Gioconda

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Gioconda was born around January 2024. The pretty tortoiseshell cat Gioconda had snuck into a kindergarten as a kitten, to the parents' great displeasure. The authorities quickly brought her to the Perrera, where she spent the last 10 months. She was rescued by animal protectors and was able to move into the intake station. The Spaniard Gioconda has developed from a shy little mouse into a feisty lady. She loves cuddles, plays her heart out, and is very attached to humans. Now, Gioconda wishes for a home with a Gspändli, either with a free roam (away from busy streets) or in a large apartment with a secured balcony or terrace. Maybe Gioconda will be lucky and can move into her home in happiness with a Gspändli. Gioconda is neutered, tested, microchipped, and vaccinated and will be rehomed with a Tierschutzbrief. This cat needs outdoor access.

Gioconda wurde ca. im Januar 2024 geboren. Das hübsche Schildpattmädchen Gioconda hatte sich als Katzenkind in einen Kindergarten eingeschlichen, sehr zum Missfallen der Eltern. Die Verantwortlichen brachten sie kurzerhand in die Perrera. Dort musste sie die letzten 10 Monaten verbringen, wurde von Tierschützern herausgelöst und durfte in die Auffangstation ziehen. Die Spanierin Gioconda hat sich vom stillen Mäuschen zu einer temperamentvollen Dame entwickelt. Sie liebt Streicheleinheiten, spielt für ihr Leben gern und ist dem Menschen sehr zugetan. Nun wünscht sich Gioconda ein Zuhause zu einem Gspändli, entweder mit Freigang (weg von stark befahrenen Strassen) oder in einer grossen Wohnung mit gesichertem Balkon/Terrasse. Vielleicht hat Gioconda Glück und darf zusammen mit einem Gspändli in ihr Zuhause im Glück ziehen. Gioconda ist kastriert, getestet, gechippt und geimpft und wird mit dem Tierschutzbrief vermittelt.

About Gioconda

What life with Gioconda looks like

Gioconda is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Waisenkatzen.ch in Waisenkatzen.

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.
