Arthos

Male · Adult · 6 years

Arthos wurde weit weg von seinem Zuhause aufgefunden. Der Verdacht lag nahe, dass Spannungen im Zusammenleben mit seinem Bruder der Grund dafür waren, dass er das Weite suchte. Deshalb wurde entschieden, dass ein neues Zuhause, in dem Arthos noch einmal neu anfangen kann, die beste Lösung für ihn ist. Der schöne Kater ist Menschen gegenüber zutraulich und lieb. Seine Grenzen zeigt er aber deutlich und wenn ihm etwas zu viel wird, wehrt er sich auch mal mit schlagen. Bei Arthos' tierärztlicher Untersuchung wurde ausser leichtem Zahnstein an den Backenzähnen nichts weiter festgestellt. Aktuell ist keine Behandlung notwendig. Die Zähne sollten aber im Auge behalten und regelmässig tierärztlich kontrolliert werden. Bei Interesse und für weitere Fragen steht Ihnen unser Sekretariats-Team gerne unter 00 zur Verfügung.

About Arthos

What life with Arthos looks like

Arthos is a adult cat waiting at Tierheim Pfötli und Tierrettung 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 Arthos, answered.

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