He spends a lot of time hiding, but once reassured, he becomes very cuddly and demands a lot of attention and petting. 🥰 He will need a calm, child-free family that is very present and will give him time to regain his confidence at his own pace. He has been accustomed to living with another cat, which could also help him feel safe. 🩷 🏡 Outdoor not required 🐱 Accustomed to the presence of another cat 👧 Child-free family 💕 A lot of patience and gentleness will be necessary.

About SAMY

What life with SAMY looks like

SAMY is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Les Babychoux in France.

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 SAMY, answered.

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