Adopt Maja

Female · Young · 3 years

Maja is a delicate, very loving, friendly, but insecure kitten. She is approximately 2-3 years old and must have lived in the wild for quite some time already. She is sound-sensitive, timid, and reacts very cautiously and shyly to anything new. Maja has a submissive and sensitive personality, is very affectionate, and is totally cuddly. She needs a very quiet place where she feels protected and where she can be given the security she needs. She enjoys quiet outdoor time. Maja has no problems at all with other cats.

Maja ist ein zierliches, sehr liebes, freundliches, aber unsicheres Kätzchen. Sie ist ca. 2-3 Jahre alt und muss schon länger ausschliesslich in der Natur gelebt haben. Sie ist lärmempfindlich, schreckhaft und sie reagiert auf alles Neue sehr vorsichtig und zaghaft. Maja hat einen unterwürfigen und sensiblen Charakter, ist sehr liebebedürftig und total verschmust. Sie braucht einen sehr ruhigen Platz, wo sie sich geschützt fühlt und man ihr die Sicherheit gibt, die sie braucht. Gerne mit ruhigem Freilauf. Mit anderen Katzen hat Maja überhaupt keine Probleme.

About Maja

What life with Maja looks like

Maja is a young adult cat waiting at Cat-Box Gams in Cat Box.

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 Maja, answered.

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