Streghetta

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 14 years

Unsere allersüsseste Katzenseniorin Streghetta kam zu uns ins Tierheim, weil sich ihr ehemaliger Besitzer aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr um die liebe Dame kümmern konnte. Mit ihren stolzen 14 Jahren bringt Streghetta die eine oder andere gesundheitliche Baustelle mit, mehr dazu unter «Spezielles». Hinzu kommt, dass der Appetit der Lady aktuell eher bescheiden ist. Wir führen dies jedoch auch auf den Stress und die Umstellung im Tierheim zurück. Da Streghetta sehr schlank ist, wünschen wir uns Menschen, die bereit sind, ihren Geschmack kennenzulernen und ein Futter zu finden, das sie gerne frisst. Optimalerweise handelt es sich dabei um ein Nierenfutter. Die süsse Seniorin ist sehr kommunikativ und antwortet einem mit ihrem zarten Stimmchen. Sie ist es sich gewohnt, den ganzen Tag in der Nähe ihrer Menschen zu sein, weshalb sie sich ein Zuhause bei Personen wünscht, die viel Zeit für sie haben. Streghetta liebt es zu kuscheln und sucht aktiv die Nähe ihrer Menschen. Es gibt jedoch auch Momente, in denen sie ihre Ruhe möchte. Werden diese nicht respektiert, kann sie durchaus auch einmal fauchen und ihren Unmut zeigen. Bis anhin hat Streghetta als Wohnungskatze gelebt, und wir möchten sie auch künftig wieder in reine Wohnungshaltung vermitteln. Sie hat ihr ganzes Leben als Einzelkatze verbracht, weshalb wir ihr den Stress mit einer weiteren Katze nicht mehr zumuten möchten. Für Streghetta wünschen wir uns deshalb ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, andere Katzen oder Hunde.

About Streghetta

What life with Streghetta looks like

Streghetta is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇨🇭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 Streghetta, answered.

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