Zina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Avec sa jolie robe tigrée, Zina ne manque pas de charme ! Mais cette petite chatte de 3 ans est aussi extrêmement timide. Pour elle, faire confiance prend du temps. Il faudra beaucoup de patience, de douceur et de respect pour lui permettre de se familiariser progressivement avec son nouvel environnement et ses humains. Nous recherchons pour Zina une personne calme, douce et patiente, qui saura lui laisser le temps dont elle a besoin, sans rien précipiter. 🏡 Un foyer paisible, sans enfants en bas âge ni autres animaux, lui conviendrait parfaitement. Zina peut vivre en appartement, avec un balcon sécurisé.

About Zina

What life with Zina looks like

Zina is a young 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 Zina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zina?: 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 Zina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zina 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Zina 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 Zina 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 Zina 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.
