SIMBA

Mixed Breed · Male · 3 years

SIMBA is a very good giant, at the animal shelter in Torremaggiore he gets along with everyone, whether dogs, cats or our volunteers, whom he is very attached to. When he recovered, thanks to the care and attention, he showed his very sweet character, of a large dog who is joyful about everything offered to him, whether it is food, a caress, or even a simple morning greeting. Survived human cruelty, SIMBA would be a joy for a family that would like a big four-legged friend who, despite his sad past, is balanced and capable of dispensing so much sweetness around him.

IT·Show original

Simba è un gigante buonissimo, al rifugio di Torremaggiore va d’accordo con tutti, che siano cani, gatti o i nostri volontari ai quali è molto affezionato. Quando si è ripreso, grazie alle cure e all’accudimento, ha mostrato il suo carattere dolcissimo, di un cagnolone che gioisce per ogni cosa gli venga offerta, che si tratti di cibo, di una carezza, piuttosto che un semplice saluto mattutino. Sopravvissuto alla crudeltà umana, Simba sarebbe la gioia per una famiglia che desiderasse un grande amico a quattrozampe che, malgrado il triste passato, è equilibrato e capace di dispensare tanta dolcezza tutto intorno a sé.

About SIMBA

What life with SIMBA looks like

SIMBA is a extra-large adult mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA in Rome.

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.

Note from the shelter: Recovery from past trauma/cruelty

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

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. ENPA 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 — ENPA 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 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 ENPA 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 (IT). 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.
