Socke

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Der süsse Socke kam gemeinsam mit mehreren anderen Katzen in einem sehr schlechten Zustand zu uns ins Tierheim. Trotz seines schwierigen Starts ins Leben hat er sich nie aufgegeben und sich als kleiner Kämpfer erwiesen. Heute geht es ihm zum Glück schon viel besser. Er hat sich gut erholt und ist auf einem aufsteigenden Ast. Man merkt aber, dass ihm als junges Kätzchen die unbeschwerte Zeit zum Spielen und Entdecken teilweise gefehlt hat. Manchmal wirkt Socke deshalb noch etwas abwartend und vorsichtig. Trotzdem spielt er gerne und entdeckt seine Umgebung immer neugieriger. Für Socke wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause, idealerweise zu einer etwa gleichaltrigen, aufgeschlossenen Zweitkatze, an der er sich orientieren und mit der er weiter Vertrauen fassen kann. Er lässt sich problemlos händeln, Streicheleinheiten und Kuscheln findet er momentan jedoch noch eher "so semi lässig". Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten deshalb Geduld mitbringen, ihm Zeit lassen und sich liebevoll um ihn kümmern. Wir sind überzeugt, dass Socke mit der richtigen Unterstützung Schritt für Schritt immer mehr auftauen und zeigen wird, was für ein toller Kater in ihm steckt.

About Socke

What life with Socke looks like

Socke is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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 Socke, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Socke?
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 Socke on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Socke 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 Socke 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 Socke 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 Socke 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.
