Mathilda

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

Mathilda est une petite chatte noire de 13 ans, toute frêle et gracieuse comme une ballerine. Très câline, elle recherche volontiers la présence et les interactions avec les humains. Mathilda souffre d’une affection de la thyroïde qui nécessite la prise d’un médicament chaque jour. Elle se sent parfaitement bien à l’intérieur et pourra donc vivre en appartement. Nous recherchons pour elle une personne présente, calme et attentionnée, qui saura lui offrir toute la douceur et les soins dont elle a besoin. Un foyer sans autres animaux et sans jeunes enfants lui conviendrait le mieux. Mathilda mérite de passer ses vieux jours entourée et aimée. Qui lui ouvrira son cœur et son foyer ? 💚 🆘 Syrius mérite enfin sa seconde chance Depuis le mois de mars 2026, Syrius attend sa famille au refuge et le temps commence à devenir très voire trop long….

About Mathilda

What life with Mathilda looks like

Mathilda is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats 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 Mathilda, answered.

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