Pumbaa

Mixed Breed · Male

Pumbaa was given to us along with his brother Timon due to a change in living arrangements. Pumbaa is initially a bit shy and reserved. Once he gets to know people, however, he becomes a clingy, calm snuggle cat. Since Pumbaa is very attached to his brother Timon, he must be rehomed together with him. The tomcat Pumbaa and Timon were previously outdoor cats and would like to remain able to go outside. Of course, only in a quiet area. (Cat flap required) Both the tomcats are Leukose and FIV negative, vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and microchipped. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

DE·Show original

Pumbaa wurde uns mit seinem Bruder Timon wegen Wohnungswechsel abgegeben. Pumbaa ist anfänglich etwas ängstlich und zurückhaltend. Nach dem Kennenlernen, sobald er Vertrauen gefasst hat, ist er ein anhänglicher, ruhiger Schmusekater. Da Pumbaa sehr an seinem Bruder Timon hängt, muss er unbedingt gemeinsam mit ihm vermittelt werden. Die Kater Pumbaa und Timon waren bis jetzt Freigänger und möchten auch weiterhin ins Freie können. Selbstverständlich nur an einer verkehrsarmen Gegend. (Katzenklappe obligatorisch) Die Kater sind Leukose und Katzenaids negativ getestet, geimpft, kastriert, entwurmt und gechipt.

About Pumbaa

What life with Pumbaa looks like

Pumbaa is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Oberwallis in Visp.

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 Pumbaa, answered.

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