Loulou

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 17 years

Loulou is a handsome gentleman with a black coat, incredibly kind 💖. At 17 years old, he enjoys gentleness, attention, and quiet walks at his own pace. He has just undergone surgery for a benign skin mass on his head, which explains his slightly unusual look in the photo. He is now recovering from the procedure and deserves to find the warmth of a home. We are looking for a calm environment for him, without young children or other animals, where he can go out freely and enjoy his retirement 🏡 peacefully.

Loulou est un beau monsieur à la robe noire, d’une gentillesse incroyable 💖. À 17 ans, il apprécie la douceur, l’attention et les petites balades tranquilles à son rythme. Il vient d’être opéré d’une masse cutanée bénigne sur la tête, ce qui explique son look un peu particulier sur la photo. Il se remet maintenant de son intervention et mérite de retrouver la chaleur d’un foyer. Nous recherchons pour lui un environnement calme, sans enfants en bas âge ni autres animaux, où il pourra sortir librement et profiter 🏡 paisiblement de sa retraite.

About Loulou

What life with Loulou looks like

Loulou is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats 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 Loulou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Loulou?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Loulou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Loulou if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats 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 Loulou 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 Loulou 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 Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats early rather than rehoming privately; they know Loulou 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 (FR). 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.
