How do I contact the shelter about Kumi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhaus-Freunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kumi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kumi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhaus-Freunde 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 Kumi 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 Kumi 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 Katzenhaus-Freunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kumi 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.

Kumi

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Kumi had little contact with humans until recently. She still finds us quite intimidating at the moment, but she already enjoys taking the treat from our fingers. However, she can still growl like a big cat. She also needs time and patience to adjust to her new situation. Cat visit / adoption Highlands Group The two kittens are from a wild cat living on a farm where there are unfortunately too many cats. We were able to catch the little ones and also try to catch the mother cat and have her spayed. The farmer is very grateful for our help. Since the two are very attached to each other and get along very well, they will only be adopted together. They are looking for a home with outdoor access in a rural environment, where they can enjoy their outdoor time through a cat flap after the adjustment period. Kumi Soe

Kumi hatte bis vor kurzem kaum Kontakt zu Menschen. Sie findet uns im Moment noch sehr unheimlich, trotzdem nimmt sie schon gerne die Schleckpaste vom Finger. Fauchen kann sie allerdings wie eine Grosse. Auch sie braucht noch Zeit und Geduld um sich an die neue Situation zu gewöhnen. Katze besuchen / adoptieren Geschichte der Gruppe Highlands Die zwei Kitten sind von einer wilden Kätzin die auf einem Bauernhof wohnt, auf dem es leider viel zu viele Katzen gibt. Wir durften die Keinen einfangen und versuchen auch die Kätzin einzufangen und zu kastrieren. Der Bauer ist sehr froh über unsere Hilfe. Da die Zwei sehr aneinander hängen und sich sehr gut verstehen, werden sie nur gemeinsam vermittelt. Sie suchen ein Zuhause mit Freigang in einer ländlichen Umgebung, wo sie nach der Eingewöhnungszeit ihren Freigang durch eine Katzenklappe geniessen können. Kumi Soe

About Kumi

What life with Kumi looks like

Kumi is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Katzenhaus-Freunde in Zürich region.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇨🇭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.
