Whisky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

Whisky, 12 years old, is looking for a quiet, loving home as a single prince with outdoor access in a place with few other cats. No children and other animals. He has marked at the former location due to stress with the 2nd cat! He is still a bit reserved, but friendly and curious.

Whisky, 12 jährig, unser Schmusebär ist anfangs etwas zurückhaltend, aber freundlich und neugierig. Da er am ehemaligen Ort Stress mit der zweiten Katze hatte, begann er dort zu markieren. Daher sucht er ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause als Einzelprinz mit Freigang an einem Ort mit wenig anderen Katzen, keinen anderen Tieren und auch ohne Kinder. Bei uns hat er nie wieder rum markiert! Wer kann und möchte dem schönen Kater dieses Umfeld geben?

About Whisky

What life with Whisky looks like

Whisky is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Stiftung Tierheim Nesslau in Nesslau.

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 Whisky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Whisky?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stiftung Tierheim Nesslau handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Whisky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Whisky if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stiftung Tierheim Nesslau 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Whisky 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 Whisky 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 Tierheim Nesslau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Whisky 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.
