Nami

Maine Coon · Female · Young · 1 year

Nami came to us at the Pfötli animal shelter as a surrendered cat. Despite a few health issues, the lovely Maine Coon lady doesn't let them dampen her joy for life and charms everyone with her affectionate nature. Nami is an incredibly sweet and cuddly cat who enjoys being petted for hours. Whether with people or other cats, she is always up for a game. When being handled, she can sometimes be a bit wiggly, but she is still easy to care for. She is very social and gets along wonderfully with other cats. During Nami's veterinary examination, several findings came to light that should be monitored in her new home. Nami had a severe dental disease, which is why all of her teeth had to be extracted. She has recovered well from this and is now eating normally. Since her arrival, Nami has held her head tilted to the left. A CT scan revealed an altered inner ear with suspected inflammation. Since surgery is not possible, she is being treated with medication. In addition, Nami is a carrier of calicivirus, which makes her prone to colds and nasal inflammation; these can be treated well when needed. She also has a slight malformation of the hips and an inconspicuous breathing sound. As long as she remains lively and jumps without pain, she requires no treatment here. However, should she ever show pain or breathing problems, this would need to be medically a

Nami kam als Verzichtskatze zu uns ins Tierheim Pfötli. Trotz einiger gesundheitlicher Baustellen lässt sich die hübsche Maine Coon-Dame ihre Lebensfreude nicht nehmen und verzaubert alle mit ihrem liebenswerten Wesen. Nami ist eine unglaublich liebe und verschmuste Katze, die Streicheleinheiten stundenlang geniesst. Egal ob mit Menschen oder anderen Katzen, für ein Spielchen ist sie immer zu haben. Im Handling zeigt sie sich manchmal etwas zappelig, lässt sich aber dennoch gut behandeln. Sie ist sehr sozial und mit Artgenoss:innen kommt Nami wunderbar zurecht. Bei Namis tierärztlicher Untersuchung zeigten sich einige Befunde, die im neuen Zuhause im Auge behalten werden sollten.Nami hatte mit einer starken Zahnerkrankung zu kämpfen, weshalb ihr alle Zähne gezogen werden mussten. Davon hat sie sich gut erholt und sie frisst unterdessen ganz normal. Seit ihrer Ankunft zeigt Nami eine Kopfschiefhaltung nach links. Eine Untersuchung mittels CT ergab ein verändertes Innenohr mit Verdacht auf eine Entzündung. Da eine Operation nicht möglich ist, wird sie medikamentös behandelt. Ausserdem ist Nami Trägerin des Calicivirus und hat dadurch eine Neigung zu Schnupfen und Nasenentzündungen, was sich bei Bedarf gut behandeln lässt. Zudem hat sie eine leicht Fehlbildung an den Hüften und ein unauffälliges Atemgeräusch. Solange sie munter bleibt und schmerzfrei springt, braucht sie hier keine Behandlung. Sollte sie jedoch einmal Schmerzen oder Atemprobleme zeigen, müsste dies medizinisch a

About Nami

What life with Nami looks like

Nami is a young adult maine coon cat waiting at Tierheim Pfötli und Tierrettung in Switzerland.

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 Nami, answered.

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