Sakura

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Sakura was cruelly abandoned on the side of the road with her siblings. They found a family, but this baby is still waiting for hers. She is affectionate, playful, and gets along with everyone. All our kittens are placed dewormed, identified, vaccinated (1 or 2 vaccines depending on the time of placement), and compulsorily spayed at 6 months without additional participation required (if sterilization performed at a partner veterinarian). We are looking for families living as close to Pau as possible. In an apartment (if in height, external access will need to be secured) or in a house away from a too dangerous road. The participation in rescue costs is €170 (€200 if a vaccination recall is performed). To offer them a family, please contact us by email (do not go through Réservez le).

Sakura a été lâchement abandonnée sur le bord de la route avec ses frères. Eux ont trouvé une famille mais ce bébé attend toujours la sienne. Câline, joueuse. Tous nos chatons sont placés déparasités, identifiés, vaccinés (1 ou 2 vaccins en fonction du moment du placement) et obligatoirement stérilisés à leurs 6 mois sans demande de participation supplémentaire ( si stérilisation effectuée chez un vétérinaire partenaire). Nous recherchons pour eux des familles habitant le plus près possible de Pau. En appartement ( si en hauteur les accès extérieurs devront être sécurisés) ou en maison éloignée d'une route trop dangereuse. La participation aux frais de sauvetage est de 170 € ( 200 si rappel vaccin effectué). Pour leur offrir une famille, merci de nous contacter par mail (ne pas passer par Réservez le)

About Sakura

What life with Sakura looks like

Sakura is a kitten european shorthair cat waiting at ADAP (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) in Pau.

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 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 Sakura, answered.

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