Zingora

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Zucca, Zeus und Zingora haben wir von einem anderen Tierheim übernommen. Die drei wurden etwas abgemagert aufgefunden. Zum Glück haben sie einen ausgezeichneten Appetit und inzwischen alle ihr Normalgewicht erreicht. Charakterlich sind sie ganz unterschiedlich. Zingora ist mutig und lässt sich bereits streicheln, auch wenn sie die Berührungen noch nicht so richtig geniessen kann. Beim Spielen mit dem Federstab ist sie dafür mit voller Begeisterung dabei. Hat sie ihre Beute erst einmal erwischt, denkt sie gar nicht ans Teilen und zieht stolz damit davon. Zeus ist eher schüchtern und zieht sich zurück, wenn es ihm zu hektisch wird. Anfassen möchte er sich noch nicht gerne lassen, doch für Spiel und Spass ist auch er zu haben. Zucca ist eine wilde, neugierige Katze, die immer an vorderster Front mit dabei ist. Streicheleinheiten findet sie momentan noch überflüssig. Mit etwas Leckerem lässt sie sich manchmal aus der Reserve locken. Für die drei wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause in einer ruhigen Gegend bei geduldigen Menschen, die ihnen Zeit geben, Vertrauen zu fassen. Sie werden einzeln, zu zweit oder zu passenden, etwa gleichaltrigen Katzen vermittelt.

About Zingora

What life with Zingora looks like

Zingora is a kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇨🇭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 Zingora, answered.

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