About Unsere Katze

What life with Unsere Katze looks like

Unsere Katze is a senior cat waiting at Stiftung Tierrettungsdienst – Tierheim Pfötli in Zürich.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇨🇭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 Unsere Katze, answered.

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