Adopt Milou

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 9 years

Milou was given to the vet by his owner after the necessary amputation of his right hind leg, caused by an injury, and she no longer showed any interest in him. He is a peculiar tomcat who clearly shows when he has had enough. However, when he is in the mood, he enjoys long cuddles and can be very cuddly. The operation went well for Milou, and he is still recovering well. He still needs to practice walking on only three legs, but he is already making progress. A quiet home without children and without other animals is sought for Milou. After an adjustment period, he would like to be able to go outside independently again, ideally through a cat flap. Leisibachstrasse 16037 Root041 450 00 Monday – Friday:. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Milou wurde beim Tierarzt abgegeben, nachdem seine Besitzerin nach der notwendigen Amputation seines rechten Hinterbeins, verursacht durch eine Verletzung, kein Interesse mehr an ihm hatte. Er ist ein eigenwilliger Kater, der klar zeigt, wenn ihm etwas zu viel wird. Solange er jedoch in Stimmung ist, geniesst er ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten und kann dabei sehr verschmust sein. Die Operation hat Milou gut überstanden, und er erholt sich weiterhin gut. Das Laufen mit „nur“ noch drei Beinen muss er zwar noch etwas üben, aber er macht bereits Fortschritte. Für Milou wird ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder und ohne andere Tiere gesucht. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit möchte er gerne wieder selbstständig nach draussen gehen können, idealerweise über eine Katzenklappe.

About Milou

What life with Milou looks like

Milou is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim an der Ron.

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 Milou, answered.

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