Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Our big, friendly boy. In the womb, his tail split, which doesn't bother him at all and gives him a unique feature. He seeks our closeness, looks us deep in the eyes, observes us and is always ready. There could be an extra portion of petting. He gets along well with other cats and appreciates it when they are nice to him. Who wants to live with a loving tomcat will get along well with Max.

ist unser grosser, umgänglicher Bub. Im Mutterleib hat sich das Schwanzende geteilt, was ihn überhaupt nicht stört und ihm eine Einzigartigkeit verleiht. Er sucht unsere Nähe, schaut uns tief in die Augen, beobachtet uns und steht immer parat. Es könnte ja eine Extraportion Streicheleinheiten geben. Mit anderen Katzen versteht er sich gut und schätzt es sehr, wenn sie nett sind mit ihm. Wer mit einem liebevollen Kater leben möchte, wird es gut haben mit Max.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tiervermittlungen.ch in Elsau.

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 Max, answered.

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