Adopt Harry

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

With his magnificent tiger-striped fur, wise gaze, and large paws, Harry is a 15-year-old cat as beautiful as he is charming. Very social and close to humans, he seeks a quiet home where he will be the only animal. Diabetic, he simply takes a daily oral medication. He seeks a serene environment where he can receive all the attention he deserves. A secure access to a small balcony would also be greatly appreciated for observing birds and enjoying the sun.

Avec son magnifique pelage tigré, son regard plein de sagesse et ses grandes pattes, Harry est un chat de 15 ans aussi beau qu’attachant. Très sociable et proche de l’humain, il recherche un foyer calme où il sera le seul animal. Diabétique, il prend simplement un traitement oral quotidien. Il recherche un environnement serein où il pourra recevoir toute l’attention qu’il mérite. Un accès sécurisé à un petit balcon serait également très apprécié pour observer les oiseaux et profiter du soleil. 🆘 SOS pour Charlotte – 18 ans, une douceur à partager

About Harry

What life with Harry looks like

Harry is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats in Switzerland.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇨🇭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 Harry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Harry?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Harry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Harry if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats 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 Harry 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 Harry 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 Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats early rather than rehoming privately; they know Harry 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 (FR). 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.
