Lino

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Senior · 12 years

Da man in seinem früheren Zuhause mit ihm überfordert war, fand Lino den Weg zu uns ins Tierheim Pfötli. Hier durfte er zur Ruhe kommen, bis er bereit war, in ein neues Zuhause zu ziehen. Lino ist aktuell noch etwas ängstlich und schreckhaft und reagiert in Situationen, die in überfordern, auch mal mit Beissen. Wenn er Menschen jedoch erst einmal kennt, geniesst er kleine Streicheleinheiten am Kopf sehr. Er braucht viel Zeit, Geduld und ein ruhiges Umfeld, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Dafür lässt er sich wunderbar mit Leckerlis motivieren. Eine tierärztliche Untersuchung lässt er beispielsweise mit einem Liquid Snack vor der Nase problemlos zu. Gegenüber anderen Katzen zeigt er sich sehr ängstlich. Lino hat eine chronische Schilddrüsenüberfunktion, für die er täglich morgens und abends zuverlässig seine Medikamente benötigt. Zudem zeigte die tierärztliche Untersuchung eine leicht vergrösserte Milz sowie ein etwas grösseres Herz, was derzeit aber nicht behandelt werden muss. Wichtig sind regelmässige tierärztliche Kontrollen inklusive Blutbild und Herz-Abhören sowie die konsequente Medikamentengabe. Sollte sich sein Verhalten oder Zustand verändern, braucht es weitere medizinische Untersuchungen.

About Lino

What life with Lino looks like

Lino is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim Pfötli und Tierrettung 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 Lino, answered.

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