Timon

Mixed Breed · Male

Timon was given to us along with his brother Pumbaa due to a change in living arrangements. He is a very affectionate, clingy, and people-oriented tomcat. He loves to be near his humans and to be petted. Timon is very playful and curious. Timon and Pumbaa are looking for a good home together. They can only be rehomed together as Pumbaa is very attached to Timon. The two toms can only be adopted as outdoor cats in a quiet area (cat flap mandatory).

Timon wurde uns mit seinem Bruder Pumbaa wegen Wohnungswechsel abgegeben. Er ist ein sehr lieber, anhänglicher und menschenbezogener Kater. Er liebt es, in der Nähe seiner Menschen zu sein und gestreichelt zu werden.. Timon ist sehr verspielt und neugierig. Timon und Pumbaa suchen zusammen ein gutes zuhause. Sie können nur gemeinsam vermittelt werden, da Pumbaa sehr an Timon hängt. Die zwei Kater werden nur als Freigänger an einer verkehrsarmen Gegend (Katzenklappe obligatorisch) vermittelt

About Timon

What life with Timon looks like

Timon is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Oberwallis in Visp.

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 Timon, answered.

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