Shamu

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Der etwa 14 Wochen alte Shamu ist ein sensibler kleiner Kater, der sich anfangs eher ruhig und zurückhaltend zeigt. Hat er Vertrauen gefasst, kommt seine fröhliche und verspielte Seite zum Vorschein – und dann geht die Post ab! Shamu ist menschenbezogen und sehr kommunikativ und erzählt gerne, was ihn gerade beschäftigt. Streicheleinheiten liebt er besonders und quittiert diese sofort mit einem zufriedenen Schnurren. Auch auf den Arm nehmen und herumtragen lässt er sich gerne. Für sein neues Zuhause wünscht sich Shamu einen Kater im ähnlichen Alter als Gspändli, mit dem er spielen, toben und gemeinsam die Welt entdecken kann. Nach der Eingewöhnungszeit möchte Shamu Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten Umgebung geniessen. Bei Geschlechtsreife muss er zwingend kastriert werden. Wer schenkt diesem sensiblen, liebenswerten kleinen Kerl ein Zuhause mit viel Geborgenheit und einem passenden Katzenfreund? Er ist Leukose-negativ getestet, geimpft, entwurmt und gechippt.

About Shamu

What life with Shamu looks like

Shamu is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Bern in Katzenhilfe Bern.

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 Shamu, answered.

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