Salsa

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 2 years

Salsa wurde ursprünglich im Rahmen einer Kastrationsaktion eingefangen. Schon bald stellte sich heraus, dass sie trächtig war. Im Tierheim durfte sie zunächst in Ruhe ankommen und sich erholen. Einige Wochen später brachte sie drei gesunde Kitten zur Welt. Inzwischen sind ihre Jungen gross genug, um in ihr eigenes Zuhause zu ziehen. Deshalb suchen wir nun auch für Salsa ein liebevolles Zuhause. Die hübsche Kätzin begegnet neuen Situationen und unbekannten Menschen zunächst mit einer gewissen Skepsis und beobachtet alles ganz genau. Fühlt sie sich jedoch sicher und hat Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sie ihre verschmuste Seite und entpuppt sich als ausgesprochen liebevolle und anhängliche Katzendame. Da Salsa eher schreckhaft und zurückhaltend ist, wünschen wir uns für sie ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder oder Hunde. Mit anderen Katzen kommt Salsa grundsätzlich gut zurecht. Bisher lebte sie gemeinsam mit ihren Kitten sowie der Katzenmutter Tortilla zusammen. Tortilla ist allerdings eher der Typ «Kampfkuschlerin» und nimmt dabei gerne viel Raum ein. Deshalb können wir uns vorstellen, dass Salsa im gemeinsamen Alltag manchmal etwas zu kurz kommen könnte. Wenn ihre zukünftigen Halter darauf achten und beiden Katzen genügend individuelle Aufmerksamkeit schenken, könnten die beiden jedoch auch gemeinsam in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Salsa

What life with Salsa looks like

Salsa is a large young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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 Salsa, answered.

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