How do I contact the shelter about Max &#8211?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzbund Basel Regional handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Max &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Max &#8211 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzbund Basel Regional 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 Max &#8211 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 Max &#8211 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 Tierschutzbund Basel Regional early rather than rehoming privately; they know Max &#8211 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.

Max &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Max was born on Mallorca and then moved to Switzerland with his family. Due to a separation, he was placed in a foster family at the beginning of 2018. During a trial phase, he could have stayed there permanently, but unfortunately, it turned out that Max did not get along with the cats at all. To help him bond with the family cats, even a professional dog trainer was brought in, but unfortunately, the training was not successful. The situation became increasingly stressful for the already stressed cats in the household. Therefore, Max is urgently searching for a new home with a cat-free family. As he gets along well with children and is a family dog, ideal candidates would be loving people with children. Max is an open and friendly dog who can also be left alone in the house for a few hours. He listens well to his people and gets along well with other animals. Only cats are simply not his friends. Max can stay in his foster family until he finds a new home. Max will be vaccinated, microchipped, and rehomed.

Max wurde in Mallorca geboren und ist dann mit seiner Familie in die Schweiz gezogen. Aufgrund einer Trennung, ist er Anfang 2018 in eine Pflegefamilie gezogen. Nach einer Testphase hätte er dort auch für immer bleiben können, doch leider stellte sich heraus, dass sich Max mit den Katzen gar nicht verstand. Damit er sich wenigstens mit den Familienkatzen anfreundet, wurde sogar ein Hundeprofi zur Hilfe gezogen, doch leider fruchtete das Training nicht. Die Situation wurde vor allem auch für die sehr gestressten Katzen im Haushalt auf Dauer nicht mehr tragbar. Max sucht deshalb dringend ein neues Zuhause bei einer tollen Familie ohne Katzen. Da er mit Kinder sehr gut auskommt und ein Familienhund ist, wären liebe Menschen mit Kinder ideal. Max ist ein aufgeschlossener und freundlicher Hund, der gerne auch mal für ein paar Stunden alleine im Haushalt bleiben kann. Er hört sehr gut auf seine Menschen und kommt auch sehr gut mit Artgenossen klar. Nur Katzen sind halt einfach so gar nicht seine Freunde. Max darf in seiner Pflegefamilie bleiben, bis er einen neuen Lebensplatz gefunden hat. Max wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 550.– vermittelt.

About Max &#8211

What life with Max &#8211 looks like

Max &#8211 is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

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.
