Adopt Tommy

Mixed Breed · Male

Tommy is a foundling kitten from Hörhausen. He is very affectionate, rubbing against your legs and loving to eat. He does not like being pressed tightly, and will defend himself with all his might (by biting). Tommy has a bite wound at the base of his tail, which is healing. Since it was initially assumed that the tomcat would be re-released after castration, he has a piece of his ear missing as a marking. He is looking for a new home in a rural area with outdoor access (cat flap). Not suitable for small children! Who will give the homeless tomcat a home with lots of love?. This animal was abandoned.

Tommy ist ein Findelkater aus Hörhausen. Er ist sehr liebesbedürftig, streicht einem gleich um die Beine und liebt das Fressen. Er mag es gar nicht, wenn er fest gedrückt wird, da wehrt er sich mit seiner ganzen Kraft (beisst). Tommy hat noch eine Bisswunde am Schwanzansatz, die jedoch am Verheilen ist. Da zuerst angenommen wurde, dass der Kater nach der Kastration wieder ausgesetzt würde, wurde ihm ein Stück vom Ohr zur Markierung abgeschnitten. Er sucht ein neues Zuhause in ländlicher Umgebung mit Freigang (Katzenklappe). Nicht geeignet für kleine Kinder! Wer gibt dem heimatlosen Kater ein Zuhause mit viel Herz?

About Tommy

What life with Tommy looks like

Tommy is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stiftung Tierschutzzentrum Thurgau 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 Tommy, answered.

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