Anubis

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Anubis – The Egyptian legend who prefers hugs to myths Anubis, just 4 years old, bears a name heavy with symbolism… but he, has chosen an entirely different version of the story. In Egyptian mythology, Anubis is the guardian of passages, the one who watches over between two worlds. Where the deity is often associated with silence, shadows, and death… our Anubis is quite the opposite: he is alive, present, curious, and turned towards humanity. Where the myth envisions a being in black and white, he chose the light of gazes and the warmth of touches. Where one is often depicted as a sacred dog, he took the form closest to our lives: a friendly, gentle, and accessible cat. Anubis does not guard the gates of the afterlife… he opens those of hearts. He comes to you naturally, without detour, as if he already knew that his place is among humans. Very sociable, he loves presence, calm, and this simple bond that weaves itself effortlessly. No eerie mystery here: just a companion waiting for his family to write the next chapter of his own legend. Anubis is FIV+, but in his Egypt, it is neither a curse nor a hindrance. Anubis does not wait to cross another world… only to find his own. I await you at the shelter for a tender meeting. Together, we could form a beautiful team!

Anubis – La légende égyptienne qui préfère les câlins aux mythes Anubis, tout juste 4 ans, porte un nom lourd de symboles… mais lui, il a choisi une toute autre version de l’histoire Dans la mythologie égyptienne, Anubis est le gardien des passages, celui qui veille entre deux mondes. Là où la divinité est souvent associée au silence, aux ombres et à la mort… notre Anubis à nous est tout l’inverse : il est vivant, présent, curieux, tourné vers l’humain. Là où le mythe imagine un être entre noir et blanc, lui a choisi la lumière des regards et la chaleur des contacts. Là où l’un est souvent représenté en chien sacré, lui a pris la forme la plus proche de nos vies : un chat avenant, doux et accessible Anubis ne garde pas les portes de l’au-delà… il ouvre celles des cœurs. Il vient vers vous naturellement, sans détour, comme s’il savait déjà que sa place est auprès des humains Très sociable, il aime la présence, le calme, et ce lien simple qui se tisse sans effort. Pas de mystère inquiétant ici : juste un compagnon qui attend sa famille pour écrire la suite de sa propre légende Anubis est FIV+, mais dans son Égypte à lui, cela n’est ni une malédiction ni un frein Anubis n’attend pas de traverser un autre monde… seulement de trouver le sien Je vous attends au refuge pour une rencontre pleine de tendresse. Ensemble, on pourrait former une belle équipe ! Race : Européen Date de naissance : 01/06/2020 (estimé) Sexe : Mâle Stérilisé : Oui Identifié : Oui Vacciné : Oui FIV + Refuge Anim’toit

About Anubis

What life with Anubis looks like

Anubis is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Anim'toit in Prinquiau.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Anubis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Anubis?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Anim'toit handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Anubis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Anubis if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Anim'toit 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 Anubis 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 Anubis 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 Anim'toit early rather than rehoming privately; they know Anubis 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
