Milo

Male · Young · 3 years

Milo and Marli, two adorable cats, came to our shelter because their former owners unfortunately no longer had enough time for them. The two brothers are true relaxation experts, they love to spend their days comfortably in a cave and sleep against each other. It is not yet clear who wins. When Milo and Marli are awake, they enjoy extensive cuddle and brushing sessions. They purr to their hearts' content. The two are also happy to play small games, after all, you have to move a bit between all the naps. With their friendly and relaxed nature, we could imagine Milo and Marli well in a family with slightly older children. Milo and Marli have known each other their whole lives and like to lie close to each other. Therefore, Milo and Marli will only be placed together. Since they are still young and curious, we hope for a home with outdoor access in a suitable, low-traffic environment.

Das süsse Katzenduo Milo und Marli kam zu uns ins Tierheim, weil ihre ehemaligen Besitzer leider nicht mehr genügend Zeit für die beiden hatten. Die beiden Brüder sind echte Profis im Entspannen, am liebsten verbringen sie den Tag gemütlich in einer Höhle und schlafen um die Wette. Wer dabei gewinnt, ist noch nicht ganz geklärt. Wenn Milo und Marli wach sind, geniessen sie ausgiebige Kuschel- und Bürsteneinheiten. Dabei schnurren sie, was das Zeug hält. Auch für kleine Spieleinheiten sind die beiden gerne zu haben, schliesslich muss man sich zwischen all den Nickerchen auch einmal etwas bewegen. Mit ihrer freundlichen und gelassenen Art könnten wir uns Milo und Marli gut in einer Familie mit etwas grösseren Kindern vorstellen. Milo und Marli, kennen sich ihr Leben lang und liegen gerne in der Nähe des jeweils anderen. Deshalb werden Milo und Marli ausschliesslich gemeinsam vermittelt. Da sie noch jung und neugierig sind, wünschen wir uns für sie künftig ein Zuhause mit Freigang in einer geeigneten, verkehrsarmen Umgebung.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a young adult cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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 Milo, answered.

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