Sir Hissalot

Male · Adult · 8 years

Sir Hissalot is a Kornnatter that came to us as a foundling. Therefore, we know nothing about its past. Since we have not been able to locate its owners to this day, we are now searching for a new home for this handsome fellow. At the moment, he shows a bit of a picky streak when it comes to his food. Otherwise, he is typically an active night explorer, always on the lookout and exploring his terrarium. Sir Hissalot is accustomed to handling by our animal caretakers. We are looking for a terrarium for Sir Hissalot that is well-structured and engaging.

Sir Hissalot ist eine Kornnatter, welche als Findel zu uns gekommen ist. Aus diesem Grund wissen wir nichts über seine Vergangenheit. Da wir seine Besitzer bis heute nicht ausfindig machen konnten, suchen wir nun ein neues Zuhause für den hübschen Kerl. Zur Zeit zeigt er sich noch als etwas wählerisch, wenn es um das Futter geht. Ansonsten ist er arttypisch gerne in der Nacht unterwegs und erkundet sein Terrarium. Das Handling von uns Tierpflegern ist er gewohnt. Für Sir Hissalot suchen wir ein Terrarium, welches gut strukturiert und spannend eingerichtet ist.

About Sir Hissalot

What life with Sir Hissalot looks like

Sir Hissalot is a small adult animal waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Sir Hissalot far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

Note from the shelter: Currently picky about food, requires well-structured terrarium setup

🇨🇭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 Sir Hissalot, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sir Hissalot?
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 Sir Hissalot on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sir Hissalot 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 Sir Hissalot already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 Sir Hissalot 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 Sir Hissalot 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.
