Salsinha

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

I may seem grumpy at first, but I am very shy and very sweet. Date of birth: 2014 Gender: female My life story: I was adopted by an elderly lady when I was young through the animal rescue association and had a happy and healthy home for many years where I lived with another cat who was my best friend. Unfortunately, in 2023, both my best friend and my owner passed away and I was once again handed over to Cadela Carlota. My temperament: when I was brought to the shelter, I was depressed for many months. I was very scared and spent my time hiding from humans. Recently I have started to gain more confidence and come out of my shell. I may seem grumpy at first, but I am very shy and very sweet. I deserve to feel the love and warmth of a family where I can once again be a happy cat.

Posso parecer rabugenta ao início, mas sou muito tímida e muito doce. Data de nascimento: 2014 Género: fêmea A minha história de vida: fui adotada na associação, quando jovem, por uma senhora idosa e tive, durante muitos anos, um lar feliz e saudável onde vivia com outro gato que era o meu melhor amigo. Infelizmente, em 2023, tanto o meu melhor amigo como a minha dona faleceram e fui novamente entregue à Cadela Carlota. O meu temperamento: quando fui entregue no abrigo fiquei durante muitos meses deprimida. Estava muito assustada e passava o tempo escondida dos humanos. Recentemente comecei a ganhar mais confiança e a sair da minha concha. Posso parecer rabugenta ao início, mas sou muito tímida e muito doce. Mereço sentir o amor e o calor de uma família onde possa voltar a ser uma gata feliz.

About Salsinha

What life with Salsinha looks like

Salsinha is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

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 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 Salsinha, answered.

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