SAMBA

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Name: SAMBA Breed: European Date of birth: 01/01/2022 Sex: neutered male Identified by microchip, dewormed and up to date on vaccinations Samba's profile is quite special. We are looking for a long-term foster family for him. He was probably born outdoors and has known only that for 3 years. We took him in when he was in a deplorable state. After several weeks of care, Samba is now in better physical shape. Here is a short description of what his foster family can expect: "- He responds to his name (except I call him Doudou all the time...). As soon as we call him, he comes. - He is extremely sweet, absolutely not mean with humans. - He is very gentle. - He is very playful, even when alone. He has his own toys and pretty plush toys that he plays fight with... It's always him who wins, but still! - He comes to his human when he decides to (when the person is seated or lying down, when the litter box is being cleaned...), and not the other way around. - He is fond of treats. - He eats very well, both wet food and kibble. - He is very curious. - He enjoys company and having someone around. He will like to wander through the house and will settle not far off to watch what his human is doing. - He is extremely clean: nothing comes out of his litter box, preferably kept closed, otherwise he scratches everywhere." However, Samba will be placed alone, without other animals, without children, and in a very calm environment. As you can see, he has his own little personality and will be the little king of the house. You will live at his place, not the other way around! If you would like to welcome Samba, do a good deed, and help the association, send a text message to Aurélie at 07.81.10.53.65.

Nom : SAMBA Race : européen Date de naissance : 01/01/2022 Sexe : mâle castré Identifié par puce électronique, déparasité et à jour des vaccins Le profil de SAMBA est bien particulier. Nous recherchons pour lui une famille d'accueil longue durée. Il est probablement né dehors et n'a connu que ça pendant 3 ans. Nous l'avons pris en charge alors qu'il était dans un état déplorable. Après des semaines de soin, Samba est maintenant en meilleure forme physique. Voici une petite description de sa famille d'accueil : "- Il répond à son prénom (sauf que je l'appelle tout le temps Doudou...), dès qu'on l'appelle il arrive. - Il est ultra gentil, absolument pas méchant avec l'humain . - Il est très doux. - Il est très joueur , même seul. Il aura ses propres jouets et ses peluches toutes jolies avec lesquelles il joue à la bagarre.. C'est toujours lui qui gagne mais bon ! - Il vient vers son humain quand il le décide (quand la personne est assise ou couchée, quand on nettoie la litière..) et non l'inverse. - Il est gourmand en friandises. - Il mange très bien, pâtées comme croquettes . - Il est très curieux . - Il aime la compagnie, avoir de la présence et aimera se promener dans la maison et se posera pas loin pour observer ce que son humain fera. - Il est ultra propre, rien ne sort de sa litière, fermée de préférence sinon il gratte partout ." Néanmoins Samba sera placé seul, sans autres animaux, sans enfants et dans un environnement très calme. Vous l'aurez compris, il a son petit caractère et il sera le petit roi de la maison. Vous vivrez chez lui et non l'inverse ! Si vous souhaitez accueillir Samba, faire une bonne action, aider l'association, envoyez un SMS à Aurélie au 07.81.10.53.65 Photo : Loba Photo © 2024 - 2026 ASSOCIATION VÉNUS Propulsé par Webador window.JOUWWEB = window.JOUWWEB || {}, window.plausible = window.plausible || function() { (window.plausible.q = window.plausible.q || []).push(arguments) };plausible('pageview', { props: {website: 4437773 }});

About SAMBA

What life with SAMBA looks like

SAMBA is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Association Vénus in Bordeaux.

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 SAMBA, answered.

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