About Pizzi

What life with Pizzi looks like

Pizzi is a small mixed breed cat waiting at Refuge des 4 Vents in Switzerland.

A 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). Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pizzi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pizzi?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Refuge des 4 Vents handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pizzi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pizzi if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Refuge des 4 Vents whether they will for Pizzi, what they require (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 Pizzi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Pizzi. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Refuge des 4 Vents, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pizzi isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Refuge des 4 Vents about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pizzi 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
