Minousch

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Minousch ist eine liebevolle und sanfte Katze, die anfangs ihre Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. In neuen Situationen zeigt sie sich zunächst ängstlich und zurückhaltend, doch sobald sie sich sicher fühlt, kommt ihre verschmuste und zutrauliche Seite zum Vorschein. Sie ist eine liebenswerte Begleiterin, die die Nähe zu ihren Menschen schätzt und sich mit Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen zu einer treuen Gefährtin entwickelt. Mit anderen Katzen ist Minousch gut verträglich und möchte deshalb nicht alleine leben. Für sie wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei einer bereits vorhandenen Katze in ähnlichem Alter, an der sie sich orientieren und mit der sie ihren Alltag teilen kann. Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben, da Minousch mit ihnen nicht gut zurechtkommt und auf ein ruhiges Umfeld angewiesen ist. Minousch soll künftig als Wohnungskatze leben. Ein katzensicherer Balkon wäre ideal, damit sie die frische Luft geniessen und die Natur in ihrem eigenen Tempo beobachten kann. Wer ihr die nötige Zeit gibt, sie nicht bedrängt und sie behutsam ankommen lässt, wird in Minousch eine ganz besondere und verschmuste Katzenfreundin finden.

About Minousch

What life with Minousch looks like

Minousch is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim beider Basel in Basel.

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 Minousch, answered.

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