Lu

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Lu is curious and with a pleasant dose of calmness he discovers the world. Playing together with his siblings or a ball brings him joy. But quiet moments where he observes attentively and processes new impressions are also important to him. Lu is a rather cautious little cat who takes time to gain trust. However, he shows himself friendly and open-minded towards people from the beginning. Cat visit / adoption Group Lumi Sometimes a story begins sadly - and hopefully ends with a happy new beginning. An attentive woman contacted us after discovering that a stray cat she had previously driven away from her property suddenly appeared with her four kittens. She immediately took action and asked for our help. The small cat family could be secured and caught. Unfortunately, the mother cat was already in very poor condition. Despite immediate veterinary care, medication, and infusions, her body temperature was already so low that she did not make it through the fight. This loss makes us very sad. Her four little kittens were severely undernourished upon arrival. They are now lovingly cared for on our foster home, fattened up, and allowed to recover in peace. As soon as they are old and strong enough, they will look for their forever home - always only in pairs, so they do not have to miss their familiar playmate and cuddle partner: We place the little ones either in an apartment with a securely netted balcony or in outdoor access in a rural, low-traffic environment. We wish the four a loving home where they can finally experience how beautiful a sheltered cat life can be. Ava Bo Liv Lu

Lu ist neugierig und mit einer angenehmen Portion Gelassenheit entdeckt Lu die Welt. Das gemeinsame Spielen mit seinen Geschwistern oder einem Ball macht ihm Spass. Wichtig sind ihm aber auch ruhige Momente, in denen er das Geschehen aufmerksam beobachtet und neue Eindrücke verarbeitet. Lu ist ein eher vorsichtiger kleiner Kater, der sich Zeit nimmt, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich jedoch von Anfang an freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Katze besuchen / adoptieren Geschichte der Gruppe Lumi Manchmal beginnt eine Geschichte traurig – und endet hoffentlich mit einem glücklichen Neuanfang. Eine aufmerksame Frau hat uns kontaktiert, nachdem sie entdeckt hatte, dass eine Streunerkatze, die sie zuvor immer wieder von ihrem Grundstück vertrieben hatte, plötzlich mit ihren vier Kitten bei ihr auftauchte. Sie hat sofort gehandelt und uns um Hilfe gebeten. Die kleine Katzenfamilie konnte gesichert und eingefangen werden. Leider war die Mutterkatze bereits in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Trotz sofortiger tierärztlicher Versorgung, Medikamente und Infusion war ihre Körpertemperatur bereits so tief, dass sie den Kampf nicht mehr geschafft hat. Dieser Verlust macht uns sehr traurig. Ihre vier kleinen Kitten waren bei ihrer Ankunft massiv unterernährt. Sie werden nun liebevoll auf unserer Pflegestelle versorgt, aufgepäppelt und dürfen dort in Ruhe zu Kräften kommen. Sobald sie alt und kräftig genug sind, suchen sie ihr Für-immer-Zuhause – immer nur im Doppelpack, damit sie nicht auf ihren vertrauten Spiel- und Kuschelpartner verzichten müssen: Wir vermitteln die Kleinen entweder in eine Wohnung mit gut gesichertem, eingenetztem Balkon oder in Freigang in einer ländlichen, verkehrsarmen Umgebung. Wir wünschen uns für die vier ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie endlich erfahren dürfen, wie schön ein behütetes Katzenleben sein kann. Ava Bo Liv Lu

About Lu

What life with Lu looks like

Lu is a small 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lu, answered.

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