How do I contact the shelter about Schnurrlock Holmes?

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

Can I adopt Schnurrlock Holmes 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Schnurrlock Holmes 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 Schnurrlock Holmes 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 Schnurrlock Holmes 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.

Schnurrlock Holmes

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Schnurrlock Holmes and Graf Schmusebart are two young found kittens searching for a loving home where they can grow up together. The two were found without owners and fortunately brought to safety. By now, they have developed well and show themselves to be lively, curious, and playful young tomcats. Especially during play, it becomes clear quickly: Schnurrlock Holmes and Graf Schmusebart are little rascals. They chase each other through the room, wrestle joyfully with each other, and always create funny and chaotic moments. Despite their wild play, the two are very people-oriented and enjoy cuddles just as much as shared quiet breaks. As they are very attached to each other, they will only be rehomed together. Together they feel safe and spend almost every minute with each other. A home is sought for the young tomcats where they are given enough time to settle in and where they can later enjoy a free run in a quiet environment after they have become accustomed. This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Schnurrlock Holmes und Graf Schmusebart sind zwei junge Findelkater auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause, in dem sie gemeinsam gross werden dürfen. Die beiden wurden ohne Besitzer gefunden und konnten glücklicherweise in Sicherheit gebracht werden. Inzwischen haben sie sich gut entwickelt und zeigen sich als aufgeweckte, neugierige und verspielte Katerchen. Besonders beim Spielen merkt man schnell: Schnurrlock Holmes und Graf Schmusebart sind kleine Raufbolden. Sie jagen sich gegenseitig durchs Zimmer, balgen ausgelassen miteinander und sorgen dabei immer wieder für lustige und chaotische Momente. Trotz ihres wilden Spiels sind die beiden sehr menschenbezogen und geniessen Streicheleinheiten ebenso wie gemeinsame Ruhepausen. Da sie sehr aneinander hängen, werden sie nur gemeinsam vermittelt. Zusammen fühlen sie sich sicher und verbringen fast jede Minute miteinander. Für die jungen Kater wird ein Zuhause gesucht, in dem man ihnen genügend Zeit zum Ankommen gibt und in dem sie nach der Eingewöhnung später auch Freigang in einer ruhigen Umgebung geniessen dürfen.

About Schnurrlock Holmes

What life with Schnurrlock Holmes looks like

Schnurrlock Holmes is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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.
