Simba

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

This 7-year-old pretty female cat arrived at our shelter after a move. Unfortunately, her previous home could no longer provide her with the opportunity to go outside as she desired. She is gentle and affectionate when she feels safe, but also values her independence. She enjoys spending time outdoors and exploring her surroundings, particularly to satisfy her hunting instinct. Compatibility: * Child: no * Cat: to be evaluated * Dog: no, she is afraid of them We are looking for a home where she can freely enjoy both indoors and outdoors. Ideally, a house with a cat flap, so she can come and go as she pleases, according to her mood. Want to give her a new start? ❤️ 📞 Contact us only by phone at 02. ❌ Please do not send messages, emails or requests via social media. Contacts are made only by phone.

Cette jolie minette âgée de 7 ans est arrivée chez nous à la suite d’un déménagement. Malheureusement, son ancien foyer ne pouvait plus lui offrir la possibilité de sortir comme elle le souhaitait. De nature douce et câline lorsqu’elle est en confiance, elle apprécie également son indépendance. C’est une minette qui aime profiter de l’extérieur et partir explorer son environnement, notamment pour assouvir son instinct de chasse. Ententes : * Enfant : non * Chat : à évaluer * Chien : non, elle en a peur Nous recherchons pour elle un foyer où elle pourra profiter librement de l’intérieur comme de l’extérieur. L’idéal serait une maison équipée d’une chatière, afin qu’elle puisse entrer et sortir à sa guise, selon ses envies. Envie de lui offrir un nouveau départ ? ❤️ 📞 Contactez-nous uniquement par téléphone au 02. ❌ Merci de ne pas envoyer de messages, d’e-mails ou de demandes via les réseaux sociaux.

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is an 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 Simba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Simba?: 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 Simba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Simba 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 Simba 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 Simba 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 Simba 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.
