Pini

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 16 years

Pini ist eine liebenswerte Senior-Kätzin, die mit ihrem sanften und charmanten Wesen schnell die Herzen erobern kann. Zu Beginn zeigt sie sich noch ängstlich, schreckhaft und zurückhaltend. Sie braucht viel Geduld, Ruhe und Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Hat Pini erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sie ihre anhängliche und verschmuste Seite und geniesst die Nähe zu ihren Bezugspersonen. Für Pini wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, da sie mit ihnen nicht gut zurechtkommt. Mit einer sozialen Katze in ähnlichem Alter würde sie sich über Gesellschaft freuen. Künftig soll Pini als Wohnungskatze leben. Ein katzensicherer Balkon wäre dabei ein schönes Extra, auf dem sie gemütlich die Aussicht geniessen und ihre Umgebung beobachten kann.

About Pini

What life with Pini looks like

Pini is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim beider Basel in Basel.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pini, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pini?: 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 Pini on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pini 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 Pini 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 Pini 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 Pini 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.
