Timmy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

The 12-year-old Timmy is a calm, reserved tomcat with a gentle nature. At first, he shows himself to be rather shy and fearful and needs time to gain trust and settle into his new home. Once his heart has been won, however, Timmy reveals himself to be a seasoned companion who greatly enjoys the company of his people. For Timmy, we wish for a patient and calm home with people who will give him the time to settle in at his own pace. With understanding, love, and a bit of patience, Timmy will surely become a wonderful life companion. He is neutered, Leukose-negative, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.

DE·Show original

Der 12-jährige Timmy ist ein ruhiger, zurückhaltender Kater mit einem sanften Wesen. Anfangs zeigt er sich scheu und ängstlich und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und sich in seinem neuen Zuhause einzuleben. Hat man jedoch sein Herz gewonnen, zeigt sich Timmy als verschmuster Begleiter, der die Nähe seiner Menschen sehr geniesst. Timmy leidet seit 3 Jahren an Asthma. Aktuell erhält er 1x täglich Prednisolon. Sonst ist er topfit. Für Timmy wünschen wir uns ein geduldiges und ruhiges Zuhause mit erfahrenen Katzenhalter wegen seines Asthmas und die ihm die Zeit geben, in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Mit Verständnis, Liebe und Geduld wird Timmy sicher ein wunderbarer Gefährte fürs Leben. Er ist kastriert, Leukose-negativ, geimpft, entwurmt und gechippt.

About Timmy

What life with Timmy looks like

Timmy is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenhilfe Bern in Katzenhilfe Bern.

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 Timmy, answered.

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