Houp

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 6 years

Houp is a male cat with a bold and independent nature. He loves being outdoors and shows great, enthusiastic joy when he sees his humans. He loves cuddling and being the center of attention. However, Houp also clearly shows when he doesn't want any more petting and is busy doing something else. He is a cheerful and upbeat cat for whom we are looking for a quiet home in a rural area, far from city life and traffic. He urgently needs free access through a cat door, then he is happy. He should have no problems with larger, understanding children. Do you like Houp? Then please fill out the application form. Someone from the cat area will then contact you and be happy to answer any questions/clarify any uncertainties.

About Houp

What life with Houp looks like

Houp is a small adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Berner Tierzentrum 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 Houp, answered.

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