Tulipe

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

As her name suggests, Tulipe is a beautiful flower with a unique character. This 8-year-old tortoiseshell cat has a charming little tulip-shaped spot on her nose, making her very special. Tulipe needs to find someone very patient with her in order to be tamed. She will then show herself to be very affectionate and share moments of tenderness. Tulipe does not like the company of other animals of the same species and dreams of a home where she can be the only princess. She will need access to the outside and the freedom to go out.

FR·Show original

Comme son prénom l’indique, Tulipe est une magnifique fleur au caractère unique. Cette chatte tricolore de 8 ans arbore une charmante petite tache en forme de tulipe sur sa truffe, qui la rend très spéciale. Tulipe a besoin de trouver quelqu’un de très patient avec elle pour qu’elle se laisse apprivoiser. Elle saura alors se montrer très câline et partager des moments de tendresse. Tulipe n’aime pas la compagnie de ses congénères et rêve d’un foyer où elle pourra être l’unique princesse. Elle devra avoir un accès à l’extérieur et pouvoir sortir librement.

About Tulipe

What life with Tulipe looks like

Tulipe 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 Tulipe, answered.

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