Hanna

British Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Hanna, a 4-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, came to our shelter due to a surrender. With her beautiful amber eyes and gentle nature, she quickly wins hearts. Hanna is eagerly waiting for people to give her a home. She is very affectionate, incredibly cuddly, and open-minded. She enjoys the closeness to her humans immensely. Hanna has undergone thorough veterinary examination. Some past health issues were successfully treated and do not pose any limitations for her today. Upon arrival at the shelter, Hanna had a corneal lesion in her left eye, which was surgically treated. At the final check-up, the eye was fully healed and without limitations. Her right eye was also inflamed and is now only mildly affected, which does not bother Hanna. Further treatment is currently not necessary. If there is increased eye discharge, eye rubbing/squinting, or cloudiness, she should be examined by a veterinarian. Radiographs showed that Hanna's lung area appears slightly enlarged. If she develops coughing, breathing difficulties, or other unusual symptoms in the future, a veterinary examination is advisable. Her hip joints have a slight anatomical weakness. Currently, Hanna shows no limitations or signs of arthritis due to this. A congenital anomaly of the airways leads to chronic inflammation in Hanna.

Die etwa 4-jährige Hanna kam aufgrund eines Verzichts zu uns ins Tierheim. Mit ihren wunderschönen, bernsteinfarbenen Augen und ihrem sanften Wesen erobert sie schnell die Herzen. Nun wartet Hanna sehnsüchtig auf Menschen, die ihr wieder ein Zuhause schenken. Hanna ist sehr lieb, unglaublich verschmust und aufgeschlossen. Sie geniesst die Nähe zu ihren Menschen ausserordentlich. Hanna wurde gründlich tierärztlich untersucht. Einige gesundheitliche Baustellen aus der Vergangenheit konnten erfolgreich behandelt werden und bereiten ihr heute keine Einschränkungen.Am linken Auge hatte Hanna bei ihrer Ankunft im Tierheim eine Veränderung der Hornhaut, die operativ behandelt wurde. Bei der Abschlusskontrolle war das Auge vollständig verheilt und ohne Einschränkungen. Auch das rechte Auge war entzündet und ist mittlerweile nur noch leichtgradig betroffen, was Hanna nicht beeinträchtigt. Eine weitere Behandlung ist derzeit nicht nötig. Bei vermehrtem Augenausfluss, Augenreiben/-kneifen oder einer Trübung, sollte sie tierärztlich untersucht werden.Röntgenuntersuchungen zeigten, dass Hannas Lungenbereich etwas vergrössert wirkt. Sollten künftig Husten, Atembeschwerden oder andere auffällige Symptome auftreten, ist eine tierärztliche Abklärung sinnvoll.Ihre Hüftgelenke weisen eine leichte anatomische Schwachstelle auf.

About Hanna

What life with Hanna looks like

Hanna is a young adult british shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Pfötli und Tierrettung 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 Hanna, answered.

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