Giulia

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 7 years

Die herzige Giulia kam gemeinsam mit Giacomo zu uns ins Tierheim, weil ihre früheren Halter zurück ins Ausland gezogen sind und die beiden leider nicht mitnehmen konnten. Trotz Giulias besonderer Beinsituation (siehe «Spezielles») meistert sie ihren Alltag hervorragend. Sie lässt sich ihre Lebensfreude nicht nehmen und spielt und schmust für ihr Leben gern mit ihren Bezugspersonen. Giulia ist eine aufgeweckte, neugierige und aktive Katzendame, die gerne ihre Umgebung erkundet. Mit Giacomo versteht sich Giulia gut. Obwohl sich die beiden schon lange kennen und gut miteinander auskommen, sind sie nicht besonders eng aneinander gebunden und gehen gerne ihre eigenen Wege. Deshalb kann Giulia sowohl als Einzelkatze als auch gemeinsam mit Giacomo in ein neues Zuhause ziehen. Bisher kannte Giulia ausschliesslich das Leben als Wohnungskatze. Da sie jedoch sehr aktiv und neugierig ist, möchten wir ihr künftig ein Zuhause mit Freigang ermöglichen. Wir wünschen uns deshalb für sie ein ländlich gelegenes Zuhause mit Katzentörli.

About Giulia

What life with Giulia looks like

Giulia is an adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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 Giulia, answered.

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