Adopt Kari & Beat

Male · Senior · 13 years

Our senior cats Kari and Beat are waiting for their new home at our animal shelter. Unfortunately, the owner of the two tomcats has passed away, so the two were given to us. The siblings would like to spend the rest of their cat lives with caring cat lovers who have plenty of time and love for them. They show us animal caretakers great openness and love being pampered and petted by us. We wish them a quiet and cozy place, far away from stress and too much commotion. Therefore, children at the new location should already be 12 years old. It is unknown whether Kari & Beat has had any experience with dogs; this pairing would need to be handled by the new owners. Unfortunately, the male cats have shown virus-related symptoms, which were treated with veterinary advice. However, it cannot be ruled out that they could pass on the virus to other animals. Additionally, this virus can be triggered again by stress. Once our beloved cats feel completely comfortable in their new home, they would like an exciting but safe territory to explore together. If you are interested, please fill out the cat application form. Breed: EHK Country of origin: Switzerland Location: Switzerland Gender: male, neutered Date of birth: 07.04.2013 Caretaker:. This cat needs outdoor access.

Unsere Senioren Kari und Beat warten bei uns im Tierheim auf ihr neues Zuhause. Da die Besitzerin der beiden Kater leider verstorben ist, wurden die zwei bei uns abgegeben. Gemeinsam möchten die Geschwister den Rest ihres Katzenlebens bei liebevollen Katzenmenschen verbringen, die sehr viel Zeit und Liebe für sie übrig haben. Gegenüber uns Tierpflegern zeigen sie sich sehr offen und lieben es von uns verwöhnt und gestreichelt zu werden. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein ruhiges und gemütliches Plätzchen, fernab von Stress und zu viel Tumult. Daher sollten Kinder am neuen Ort bereits ein Alter von 12 Jahren erreicht haben. Ob Kari & Beat bereits Erfahrungen mit Hunden sammeln konnten ist uns nicht bekannt, diese Zusammenführung müsste von den neuen Besitzern übernommen werden. Leider haben sich bei den Katern virusbedingte Symptome bemerkbar gemacht. Diese wurden dann mit tierärztlicher Absprache behandelt. Jedoch ist nicht auszuschliessen, dass sie diesen Virus als Träger an Artgenossen weitergeben könnten. Ausserdem kann dieser Virus durch Stress wieder zum ausbrechen animiert werden. Sobald sich unsere Lieblinge rundum wohl im neuen Daheim fühlen, wünschen sie sich ein spannendes, aber sicheres Streifgebiet, welches sie zusammen erkundigen können. Bei Interesse füllen Sie bitte das Bewerbungsformular für Katzen aus. Rasse: EHK Zuchtland: Schweiz Aufenthaltsort: Schweiz Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: 07.04.2013 Haltung: Freigang in ein ruhiges Streifgebiet

About Kari & Beat

What life with Kari & Beat looks like

Kari & Beat is a senior cat waiting at Tierheim und Tierhotel Arche Chur 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 Kari & Beat, answered.

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