Adopt Griso

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Griso had to move at his advanced age, because he was no longer welcome after the sale of his home. He is somewhat reserved and loves an independent life. He also appreciates good and especially plentiful food…. He is in top shape for his age and would be happy to spend his golden years in a nice place with free run. This cat needs outdoor access.

Read original (de)

Griso musste in seinem fortgeschrittenen Alter umziehen, weil er nach dem Verkauf seines Zuhauses nicht mehr erwünscht war. Er ist etwas zurückhaltend und liebt ein unabhängiges Leben. Er schätzt aber auch gutes und vor allem reichliches Futter…. Er ist für sein Alter topfit und würde sich freuen, seinen Lebensabend an einem schönen Ort mit Freigang verbringen zu dürfen.

About Griso

What life with Griso looks like

Griso is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Stiftung Tierschutzzentrum Thurgau in Switzerland.

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 Griso, answered.

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