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.

Milou

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Senior · 13 years

Milou came to us at our shelter, because he has been unsanitary for over 10 years. Medical examinations have already covered a lot, so health-related causes have been ruled out. Therefore, it is assumed that the unsanitation is a result of protest due to a lack of outdoor access. This suspicion has been confirmed at our shelter, as Milou consistently uses the cat litter box here. For his new home, it is particularly important that Milou has free roam through a cat flap so he can explore the world in a rural area. The current situation at the shelter is stressful for him, and he still feels insecure. The handsome tomcat wishes for a quiet home where he can live as a single prince without children. His future owners should give him the necessary time and space to settle in and build trust at his own pace. Leisibachstrasse 16 037 Root 041 450 00 Monday – Friday:

Milou kam zu uns ins Tierheim, weil er seit über 10 Jahren unsauber ist. Medizinisch wurde viel bereits umfassend abgeklärt, sodass gesundheitliche Ursachen ausgeschlossen werden konnten. Daher liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass die Unsauberkeit aus Protest aufgrund von fehlendem Freigang entstanden ist. Dieser Verdacht hat sich bei uns im Tierheim bestätigt, da Milou hier konsequent das Katzen-WC benutzt. Für sein neues Zuhause ist es deshalb besonders wichtig, dass Milou freien Auslauf über eine Katzenklappe erhält. Sodas er in einer ländlichen Region die Welt erkunden kann. Die aktuelle Situation im Tierheim bereitet ihm Stress, und er fühlt sich noch unsicher. Der hübsche Kater wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er als Einzelprinz ohne Kinder leben darf. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten ihm die nötige Zeit und den Raum geben, damit er in seinem eigenen Tempo ankommen und Vertrauen fassen kann.

About Milou

What life with Milou looks like

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

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.
