Manolo

Mixed Breed · Male

Manolo was born unwanted, and when he was injured, no one felt responsible for him. Unneutered and unwanted, with a severe eye injury, he was rescued by animal welfare organizations. Unfortunately, his eye could no longer be saved. Manolo would have had a wonderful home, but unfortunately, he couldn't tolerate the cats already living there. With a heavy heart, his new owners had to return him. During this time, Manolo learned to trust people. We are looking for a quiet, single-cat home with patient people who live in a secluded location, so that despite his missing eye, he can enjoy safe outdoor access. Manolo could also be placed with a dog accustomed to cats.

DE·Show original

Manolo ist unerwünscht geboren und als er verletzt war, hat sich niemand für ihn verantwortlich gefühlt. Unkastriert, unerwünscht mit einer schlimmen Augenverletzung wurde er vom Tierschutz eingefangen. Leider konnte sein Auge nicht mehr gerettet werden. Manolo hätte ein wunderbares Zuhause gehabt, doch leider hat er die vorhandenen Katzen nicht toleriert. Schweren Herzens mussten ihn die neuen Besitzer zurück bringen. Manolo hat in dieser Zeit gelernt Menschen zu vertrauen. Wir suchen für ihn einen ruhigen Einzelplatz bei geduldigen Menschen, die abseits wohnen, damit er trotz fehlendem Auge gefahrlosen Auslauf geniessen kann. Manolo könnte zu einem an Katzen gewöhnten Hund genommen werden.

About Manolo

What life with Manolo looks like

Manolo is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stiftung Tierschutzzentrum Thurgau in Switzerland.

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 Manolo, answered.

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