Syrius

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

At 8 years old, this beautiful black-coated cat is incredibly gentle. Very cuddly and deeply endearing, he just can’t wait to find a loving home again. He ended up with us because he had been urinating outside his litter box due to urinary problems that hadn’t been properly addressed. Unfortunately, this situation discouraged many potential adopters. Today, Syrius is much better thanks to a diet tailored to his specific needs. We’re convinced that he finally deserves to be seen for who he truly is: an affectionate, calm, and tender-hearted cat. We’re looking for a home for him—without other pets, with outdoor access—and ideally with a patient person who’s ready to give him this new life. The team at La Maison des Chats will be by your side every step of the way to support you. Don’t hesitate to contact us so we can offer you personalized advice.

À 8 ans, ce magnifique chat à la robe noire est d’une incroyable douceur. Très câlin et profondément attachant, il ne demande qu’à retrouver un foyer. S’il s’est retrouvé chez nous, c’est parce qu’il urinait à côté de son bac en raison de problèmes urinaires qui n’avaient pas été pris en charge. Cette situation a malheureusement découragé de nombreux adoptants. Aujourd’hui, Syrius va beaucoup mieux grâce à une alimentation adaptée à ses besoins. Nous sommes convaincus qu’il mérite enfin d’être regardé pour ce qu’il est vraiment : un chat affectueux, calme et plein de tendresse. Nous recherchons pour lui un foyer sans autres animaux, auprès d’une personne patiente prête à lui offrir cette nouvelle vie. L’équipe de La Maison des Chats sera à vos côtés pour vous accompagner. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour que nous puissions vous conseiller.

About Syrius

What life with Syrius looks like

Syrius is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats 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 Syrius, answered.

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