Quarto

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

This tiger wouldn't be happy without his sister Halita. He looks uncannily like his sister. The two of them can find a place to lie down together even in the smallest den. Both are very sensitive and gentle. They quickly warm up to calm people and enjoy being petted. Both are very grateful cats.

ohne seine Schwester Halita geht für diesen Tiger gar nichts. Er sieht seiner Schwester zum verwechseln ähnlich. Die beiden finden auch in der kleinsten Schlafhöhle einen Platz, wo sie gemeinsam liegen können. Beide sind sehr sensibel und sanft. Bei ruhigen Menschen tauen sie schnell auf und geniessen Streicheleinheiten. Beide sind sehr dankbare Katzen.

About Quarto

What life with Quarto looks like

Quarto is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tiervermittlungen.ch in Elsau.

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 Quarto, answered.

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