The Amélia is a sweet survivor. She grew up in a situation of neglect, without affection, without care and in very difficult conditions, but never lost her essence.

She is a delicate kitten who will need a calm home to continue to flourish at her own pace.

About Amélia

What life with Amélia looks like

Amélia is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Sítio dos Animais — Sintra in Sintra.

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 Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Amélia, answered.

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