Mokassin

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 6 years

Mokassin ist ein zurückhaltender Kater, der von einem besorgten Nachbarn, auf einem Hof aufgegriffen wurde. Da die Besitzer die anfallenden Tierarztkosten nicht tragen wollten, hat eine Tierarztpraxis den Kater und die Kosten übernommen und ihn dann zu uns ins Tierheim weitergegeben. Hier sucht er nun sein neues Zuhause, in dem er auch wirklich gewollt ist. Er zeigt sich bis jetzt noch sehr zurückhaltend und vorsichtig. Man merkt, dass er sich ein solches Umfeld nicht gewöhnt ist. Dennoch kann man sich gut an ihn herantasten. Er lässt sich kraulen und streicheln und kann es in ruhigen Momenten auch bereits geniessen. Mit etwas Zeit und Vertrauen, wird er solche Zuneigung aber sicherlich zu schätzen lernen. Wir suchen für den süssen Kerl ein Zuhause mit ländlichem Freilauf und verständnisvollen Menschen, die ihm Zeit lassen und ihm zeigen wie toll gemeinsame Abende auf dem Sofa, spannende Spielstunden oder auch nur die warme Heizung im Winter, sein können. Wir wissen nicht, wie sich Mokassin mit anderen Katzen versteht, da er jedoch früher mit mehreren Katzen zusammen gelebt hat und in der Zwischenzeit auch kastriert ist, könnte er sicherlich zu einem freundlichen Artgenossen ziehen.

About Mokassin

What life with Mokassin looks like

Mokassin is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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 Mokassin, answered.

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