Martha

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 14 years

Our dear Martha is a people-oriented, affectionate senior cat who is looking for a quiet and caring home for her final years. Martha enjoys the company of her humans and desires someone who has plenty of time for her and can provide her with a sense of security. As she is already an older lady, she also brings some health issues with her that should be understood and supported in her new home. Health situation Martha suffers from hyperthyroidism, which is currently well-managed and stable. Additionally, we are currently observing and treating early kidney problems that may require further care in the future. Therefore, we are looking for people with cat experience who can recognize her health needs and ensure her medical care in the long term. The costs for regular check-ups, medication, and possible treatments should be factored in. We are looking for a quiet home for Martha with understanding people who can give her a lot of time and affection. Since she does not like to be alone for long periods, her future caregivers should only be absent occasionally or for short periods. As a senior, Martha needs people who can cater to her special needs. Since she feels most comfortable without other cats, she will be placed as a single cat. Martha still has a lot of love to give and deserves to spend her twilight years in a safe, loving home. Whoever gives her this chance will gain a loyal and grateful companion. Would you like to meet Martha? Please fill out the application form. Someone from the cat department will then contact you and be happy to answer any questions/uncertainties. Contact address: Berner Tierzentrum Wohlenstrasse 55 3032 Hinterkappelen Monday to Friday, 10 am to 12 pm

Rasse: Europäische Hauskatze Farbe: Tiger Alter: 01.05.2012 Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: nein Haltung: Wohnungskatze Verzichtgrund: Zeitmangel Eigenschaften: Unsere liebe Martha ist eine menschenbezogene, verschmuste Katzenseniorin, die für ihren letzten Lebensabschnitt ein ruhiges und fürsorgliches Zuhause sucht. Martha geniesst die Nähe zu ihren Menschen und wünscht sich jemanden, der viel Zeit für sie hat und ihr Geborgenheit schenkt. Da sie bereits eine ältere Dame ist, bringt sie auch einige gesundheitliche Themen mit, die in ihrem neuen Zuhause verständnisvoll begleitet werden sollten. Gesundheitliche Situation Martha leidet an einer Schilddrüsenüberfunktion, die derzeit gut eingestellt und stabil ist. Zusätzlich beobachten und behandeln wir aktuell erste Nierenprobleme, die zukünftig weitere Betreuung erforderlich machen könnten. Deshalb suchen wir für Martha Menschen mit Katzenerfahrung, die ihre gesundheitlichen Bedürfnisse erkennen und ihre medizinische Versorgung langfristig gewährleisten können. Die Kosten für regelmäßige Kontrollen, Medikamente und mögliche Behandlungen sollten dabei eingeplant werden können. Für Martha suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause bei verständnisvollen Menschen, die ihr viel Zeit und Zuwendung schenken. Da sie nicht gerne lange allein ist, sollten ihre zukünftigen Bezugspersonen nur selten oder jeweils kurz abwesend sein. Als Seniorin braucht Martha Menschen, die auf ihre besonderen Bedürfnisse eingehen. Da sie sich ohne andere Katzen am wohlsten fühlt, wird sie als Einzelkatze vermittelt. Martha hat noch viel Liebe zu verschenken und verdient es, ihren Lebensabend in einem sicheren, liebevollen Zuhause verbringen zu dürfen. Wer ihr diese Chance gibt, gewinnt eine treue und dankbare Begleiterin. Möchten Sie Martha kennenlernen? Dann füllen Sie bitte das Bewerbungsformular aus. Es wird sich dann jemand aus dem Katzenbereich bei Ihnen melden und Ihnen dann gerne alle Fragen/Unklarheiten beantworten.

About Martha

What life with Martha looks like

Martha is a small senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Berner Tierzentrum in Switzerland.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇨🇭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 Martha, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Martha?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Berner Tierzentrum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Martha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Martha if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Berner Tierzentrum 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Martha 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 Martha 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 Berner Tierzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Martha 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.
