Adopt Maricarmen

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Maricarmen was born around April 2025. The little Maricarmen was simply left on the street by her owners, who moved away. Maricarmen set up residence at the town hall, but she was not allowed to stay there. Animal welfare workers then brought her to the shelter. The Spanish Maricarmen is very clingy, friendly, loves cuddles, and is devoted to humans. She would surely delight in the gentle strokes of children's hands. Now, Maricarmen wishes for a home with a cat companion that has outdoor access (far from busy roads). Perhaps Maricarmen will be lucky and can move into her new home with another cat companion. Maricarmen is neutered, tested, microchipped, and vaccinated, and will be rehomed with an animal protection letter.

Maricarmen wurde ca. im April 2025 geboren. Die kleine Maricarmen wurde von den Besitzern, welche weggezogen sind, einfach auf die Strasse gestellt. Maricarmen installierte sich im Rathaus. Dort durfte sie jedoch nicht bleiben. So brachten Tierschützer sie in die Auffangstation. Die Spanierin Maricarmen ist sehr anhänglich, freundlich, liebt Streicheleinheiten und ist dem Menschen zugetan. Sicher würde sie sich über sanft streichelnde Kinderhände freuen. Nun wünscht sich Maricarmen ein Zuhause zu einem Gspändli mit FREIGANG (weit weg von stark befahrenen Strassen). Vielleicht hat Maricarmen Glück und darf zusammen mit einem anderen Katzengspändli in ihr Zuhause im Glück ziehen. Maricarmen ist kastriert, getestet, gechippt und geimpft und wird mit dem Tierschutzbrief vermittelt.

About Maricarmen

What life with Maricarmen looks like

Maricarmen is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Waisenkatzen.ch in Waisenkatzen.

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 Maricarmen, answered.

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