Salvador

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 5 months

The young cat Salvador is a real whirlwind, full of joie de vivre. He is curious, brave and always ready to explore his surroundings. With his high energy level and playfulness, he provides daily entertainment and delights with his cheerful, charming nature. Salvador is a very social and sociable cat who enjoys the contact with people and other cats equally. He is tame, affectionate and loves to seek the proximity of his humans after extensive play sessions. Thanks to his attentive, clever and eager to learn nature, he quickly discovers new things and masters challenges with a lot of skill. He also shows himself accommodating at the vet. With his loving and self-confident nature, Salvador is also well suited for a family with children. However, it is important that the children already understand how to treat a cat respectfully, accept his boundaries and know when Salvador needs his rest. We are looking for a home for Salvador in a rural, low-traffic environment, where he can enjoy outdoor access after the acclimatization period. In the animal shelter, he has found a loyal friend in Leonard. So they can continue to play, romp and discover the world together in their new home.

Der junge Kater Salvador ist ein echter Wirbelwind, der voller Lebensfreude steckt. Er ist neugierig, mutig und immer bereit, seine Umgebung zu erkunden. Mit seinem hohen Energielevel und seiner Spielfreude sorgt er täglich für Unterhaltung und begeistert mit seiner fröhlichen, charmanten Art. Salvador ist ein sehr sozialer und geselliger Kater, der den Kontakt zu Menschen und anderen Katzen gleichermassen geniesst. Er ist handzahm, verschmust und liebt es, nach ausgiebigen Spielrunden auch einmal die Nähe seiner Menschen zu suchen. Dank seiner aufmerksamen, schlauen und lernwilligen Art entdeckt er schnell Neues und meistert Herausforderungen mit viel Geschick. Auch beim Tierarzt zeigt er sich umgänglich. Mit seinem liebevollen und selbstbewussten Wesen eignet sich Salvador auch gut für eine Familie mit Kindern. Wichtig ist jedoch, dass die Kinder bereits verstehen, wie man respektvoll mit einer Katze umgeht, seine Grenzen akzeptieren und wissen, wann Salvador seine Ruhe braucht. Für Salvador suchen wir ein Zuhause in einer ländlichen, verkehrsarmen Umgebung, wo er nach der Eingewöhnungszeit Freigang geniessen darf. Im Tierheim hat er in Leonard einen treuen Freund gefunden. So können sie auch in ihrem neuen Zuhause weiterhin miteinander spielen, toben und gemeinsam die Welt entdecken.

About Salvador

What life with Salvador looks like

Salvador is a kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Tierheim beider Basel in Basel.

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 Salvador, answered.

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