How do I contact the shelter about Orion?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katzenhaus-Freunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Orion on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Orion if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katzenhaus-Freunde 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 Orion 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 Orion 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 Katzenhaus-Freunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Orion 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.

Orion

Birman · Male

The 6-year-old Siamese-Burmese cat is very affectionate and curious, just like his brother. He and his brother are looking for a home where they can experience many exciting things as indoor cats. Orion is a bit more mischievous than Jarilo, but he also seeks human closeness. On his explorations, not even the smallest and narrowest hiding places are safe. Like his brother, he is enthusiastic about small games, especially when it comes to food. Cat visit / adoption History of the group The Sternenbrüder (Sternenbrothers) Orion and Jarilo are two lovable brothers who are looking for a new home together due to changed living circumstances - after their partner separated and their previous owner moved. Both are six years old, very affectionate, calm and people-oriented. They enjoy the closeness of their humans and are where life is happening. As an established team, they get along wonderfully and therefore want to stay together. Orion and Jarilo have spent their lives as indoor cats. Therefore, we wish for them a loving home again as indoor cats - ideally with a netted balcony where they can safely enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.

Der 6-jährige Kater mit Siam-Birma-Blut ist wie auch sein Bruder sehr zutraulich und neugierig. Er sucht mit seinem Bruder ein Zuhause wo sie viel Spannendes erleben dürfen als Wohnungskatzen. Orion ist ein wenig vorwitziger als Jarilo, sucht aber auch die Nähe zum Menschen. Auf seinen Entdeckungstouren ist auch kein noch so kleines und enges Versteck sicher.Wie sein Bruder ist auch er zu kleinen Spielchen zu begeistern, besonders wenn es um Futter geht. Katze besuchen / adoptieren Geschichte der Gruppe Sternenbrüder Orion und Jarilo sind zwei liebenswerte Brüder, die aufgrund veränderter Lebensumstände – nach der Trennung vom Partner und Umzug ihrer bisherigen Besitzerin – gemeinsam ein neues Zuhause suchen. Die beiden sind sechs Jahre alt, sehr zutraulich, ruhig und menschenbezogen. Sie genießen die Nähe ihrer Menschen und sind am liebsten dort, wo das Leben stattfindet. Als eingespieltes Team verstehen sie sich wunderbar und möchten deshalb unbedingt zusammenbleiben. Ihr bisheriges Leben haben Orion und Jarilo als Wohnungskatzen verbracht. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie erneut ein liebevolles Zuhause als Wohnungskatzen – idealerweise mit einem eingenetzten Balkon, auf dem sie sicher die frische Luft und die Sonne genießen können. Jarilo Orion

About Orion

What life with Orion looks like

Orion is a adult birman cat waiting at Katzenhaus-Freunde in Zürich region.

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.
