Bini

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Bini has a small message for you 💖 Hello! I’m Bini, or Bini the scruffy one for my close friends. I came from a Romani camp, where I lived outdoors, so I love being outside and enjoying the sun, but I also love being warm and cocooned on the couch. As soon as I’m comfortable, I play, I groom, then I play, I take a walk, I come back, I play. I was clean from the first day I was welcomed, and I love that my fur is soft and silky. I’m still a bit timid, I’m afraid of loud noises and sudden movements. I like to hide whenever I see a new person, you never know! It will take some patience to earn my trust, but when you do, you won’t be disappointed. I love being petted, scratched, and brushed, and I become a purring machine. I don’t like being carried too much, but with time, I might get used to it. Also, at first, I didn’t like the car rides at all, but I got used to them. For kisses, with time, I learned to appreciate them. I’m generally quite hungry, I love any dry kibble! I’ve already learned to sit or scratch, and I can probably learn other things. I’m mostly quiet in general, except when I’m asking for food. Miam miam! I have a brother named Twinny, who you can see in one of the photos, we get along well, and it would be nice to see him again.

Bini a un petit message pour vous 💖 Salut! Moi c’est Bini, ou Bini la binette pour les intimes Je viens d’un camp de Roms, où j’ai vécu à l’extérieur donc j’aime être dehors et profiter du soleil mais j’aime aussi beaucoup être au chaud et cocooner sur le canapé. Dès que je suis à l’aise, je patoune, je me lave, puis je patoune, je fais un tour, je reviens, je patoune. Propre dès le premier jour où j’ai été accueilli, j’aime que mon poil soit doux et soyeux. Je suis quand même timide, j’ai peur des gros bruits et des mouvements brusques. Je me cache volontiers dès que je vois une nouvelle personne, sait-on jamais! Il faudra être patient avec moi pour gagner ma confiance mais quand vous l’aurez, vous ne serez pas déçus. J’aime être caressé, gratouillé, brossé et deviens une machine à ronron Je n’aime pas trop être porté mais avec le temps je pourrais sûrement m’habituer. Aussi, au début je n’aimais pas du tout les trajets dans ma caisse, mais je m’y suis fait. Pour les bisous, avec le temps, j’ai appris à les apprécier. Je suis plutôt de nature gourmande, j’aime n’importe quelles croquettes! J’ai déjà appris à m’asseoir ou gratter et je peux sûrement apprendre d’autres choses. Je suis plutôt silencieux en général sauf pour demander à manger. Miam miam! J’ai un frère qui s’appelle Twinny, que vous voyez sur une des photos, on s’entend bien et ça me plairait bien de le revoir à l’occasion. J’espère trouver des personnes tendres et patientes à qui je pourrai redonner ma confiance et mes ronrons apaisants Bini

About Bini

What life with Bini looks like

Bini is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Des Coeurs à Sauver in des coeurs a sauver.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bini, answered.

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