Sam

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Sam is a male, neutered European domestic cat born around September 2020. He comes from Switzerland and is currently in foster care in Uri. Sam is a cuddly and affectionate cat. He was found as a baby in a box and hand-raised with a bottle. As a result, he often gets along better with humans than with his own kind. However, he can also be placed with other cats if there is enough space. Unfortunately, Sam has lost his home through no fault of his own and is looking for a new home urgently.We are looking for a quiet, rural home for the lovable Sam with people who have patience and understanding. Sam could be placed as a house cat with secure outdoor access or, in a traffic-calmed area, as an outdoor cat. Sam is used to dogs.Sam is microchipped, vaccinated and tested negative for FIV and FeLV

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is an adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

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 Sam, answered.

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