Ruedi + Knicki

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Die Brüder Ruedi (rot-getigert) und Knicki (rot-getigert mit weiss), im April 2026 geboren, kamen aus einer grösseren Katzenpopulation zu uns ins Tierheim. Die zwei Kater sind noch recht schüchtern und brauchen viel Zeit und Geduld, um aufzutauen. Wenn man vorsichtig mit ihnen spielt, erwacht jedoch schnell ihre Neugier: Ganz interessiert schauen sie zu und tappen verspielt mit den Pfötchen. Für Ruedi und Knicki wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo Vertrauen fassen dürfen. Ob sie sich mit anderen Katzen verstehen, ist uns derzeit nicht bekannt. Später möchten die beiden Brüder nach der Eingewöhnungszeit wieder den Freigang geniessen. Sie sind getestet, geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Kastriert sind sie noch nicht. Möchtest du die zwei kennenlernen? Du erreichst uns entweder per E-Mail oder telefonisch: 44 (Mo bis Fr: , )

About Ruedi + Knicki

What life with Ruedi + Knicki looks like

Ruedi + Knicki is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutz Schwyz in Switzerland.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇨🇭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 Ruedi + Knicki, answered.

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