Sarabi

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Ce beau chat âgé de 3 ans est arrivé chez nous en raison de difficultés financières de sa famille, mais également parce qu’il peinait à trouver sa place au sein du foyer. Depuis son arrivée au refuge, il se montre très craintif et peut avoir des réactions agressives lorsqu’il a peur. Il est encore très perturbé par ce changement d’environnement et aura besoin de temps pour s’apaiser et retrouver confiance. Derrière cette peur se cache toutefois un chat qui, une fois en confiance et à son rythme, peut se montrer affectueux. ❤️ Il faudra faire preuve de beaucoup de patience, de douceur et de compréhension afin de lui permettre de s’ouvrir progressivement. 🐱 Ententes : * Chat : OK. * Chien : à évaluer. * Enfants : non. 🏡 Le foyer idéal pour lui : Nous recherchons une famille calme et bienveillante, qui saura respecter ses limites et lui laisser tout le temps nécessaire pour s’adapter à son nouveau foyer, sans lui imposer de contacts. Une famille consciente de ses craintes et prête à l’accompagner avec patience dans sa progression sera essentielle pour lui. Un accès à l’extérieur sera indispensable afin qu’il puisse profiter de cet environnement. Il attend aujourd’hui une famille prête à lui offrir une seconde chance et à lui montrer qu’il peut retrouver confiance en l’humain. Avec du temps, de la patience et beaucoup de douceur, il pourra peut-être enfin trouver la sérénité qu’il mérite. 💕 📞 Pour tout renseignement complémentaire ou si vous souhaitez lui offrir une seconde chance, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02.

About Sarabi

What life with Sarabi looks like

Sarabi is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sarabi, answered.

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