Monokel

Male · Young · 2 years

Tütü and Röckli were given up due to an allergy. The cylinder and monocle ended up at the animal shelter because their owners no longer had enough time or financial resources to care for the animals. At the shelter, the four were brought together into a new group, and from the very beginning, this arrangement worked surprisingly well. The rabbits are curious and always eager to see what’s going on around them. Often, they come over on their own to greet their humans or to check if there might be some fresh green food available. They’re especially delighted by this and enjoy it immensely. The group can be adopted together. In that case, of course, a suitably large and varied enclosure should be provided. For their future home, the four would like a spacious hutch with various structures, places to retreat and hide, as well as a digging area where they can indulge in their natural behaviors.

Tütü und Röckli wurden aufgrund einer Allergie abgegeben. Zylinder und Monokel kamen ins Tierheim, weil ihre Besitzer*innen nicht mehr genügend Zeit und finanzielle Mittel für die Tiere hatten. Im Tierheim wurden die vier zu einer neuen Gruppe zusammengeführt und das klappte von Anfang an überraschend gut. Die Kaninchen sind neugierig und stets interessiert daran, was um sie herum passiert. Oft kommen sie von sich aus vorbei, um ihre Menschen zu begrüssen oder nachzusehen, ob es vielleicht frisches Grünfutter gibt. Darüber freuen sie sich ganz besonders und lassen es sich mit grossem Genuss schmecken. Die Gruppe kann gemeinsam adoptiert werden. In diesem Fall sollte selbstverständlich eine entsprechend grosse und abwechslungsreiche Anlage zur Verfügung stehen. Für ihr zukünftiges Zuhause wünschen sich die vier ein grosszügiges Gehege mit verschiedenen Strukturen, Rückzugs- und Versteckmöglichkeiten sowie einem Buddelbereich, in dem sie ihrem natürlichen Verhalten nachgehen können.

About Monokel

What life with Monokel looks like

Monokel is a medium-sized young adult rabbit waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

Rabbits are social animals — most shelters recommend adopting them in bonded pairs rather than alone. They need fresh hay daily, several hours of out-of-cage time, and rabbit-safe spaces to explore. They live eight to twelve years, longer than many people expect.

🇨🇭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 Monokel, answered.

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