Lara

Female

Lara is a very affectionate and calm older female cat. She has already moved quite confidently around the living room on her first day after arrival and has already found her favorite elevated spot on the bookshelf. She also occasionally cuddles up to Jessy so that she doesn't feel so alone. Cat visit / adoption Group history Jessy & Lara The two female cats were given up to us by an older gentleman who unfortunately had to leave his house and move into an apartment. He could only take three of his five cats with him and asked us for help with Jessy and Lara. Both are indoor cats and should remain together in the future. We are looking for a loving home for them with indoor housing and a netted balcony where they can enjoy the fresh air. Jessy Lara

Lara ist eine sehr verschmuste und ruhige ältere Katzendame. Sie hat sich bereits am ersten Tag nach der Ankunft ziemlich sicher im Wohnzimmer bewegt und hat bereits ihren Lieblingsplatz erhöht im Regal gefunden. Ab und zu schmust sie sich auch zu Jessy, damit diese nicht so alleine ist. Katze besuchen / adoptieren Geschichte der Gruppe Jessy & Lara Die beiden Kätzinnen wurden von einem älteren Herrn bei uns abgegeben, der leider sein Haus verlassen und in eine Wohnung ziehen musste. Von seinen fünf Büsis konnte er nur drei mitnehmen und bat uns deshalb um Hilfe für Jessy und Lara. Die beiden sind reine Wohnungskatzen und sollen auch künftig zusammen bleiben. Wir suchen für sie ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Wohnungshaltung und einem eingenetzten Balkon, auf dem sie die frische Luft geniessen können. Jessy Lara

About Lara

What life with Lara looks like

Lara is a adult cat waiting at Katzenhaus-Freunde in Zürich region.

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 Lara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lara?
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 Lara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lara 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 Lara 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 Lara 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 Lara 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.
