Adopt simba

Male · Adult · 6 years

simba is a handsome ginger cat who arrived at the shelter after being abandoned. Rather affectionate but mischievous, he will appreciate being the only animal in the home. simba may pinch in excitement and roll around in all directions to get even more attention. We recommend avoiding the presence of young children in the home. A two-month adaptation period indoors will be recommended before allowing him to go outside for his well-being. Indeed, simba will not be able to live in an apartment as he will need physical and mental exercise. Adopting a cat requires patience and presence, key elements for a successful acclimation.

Simba est un beau chat roux arrivé suite à son abandon au refuge. Plutôt câlin mais coquin, il appréciera être le seul animal du foyer. Simba peux dans l'excitation se mettre à pincer tout comme se rouler dans tous les sens pour avoir encore plus d'attention. Nous éviterons la présence de jeunes enfants au foyer. Une période d'adaptation de deux mois en intérieur sera recommandée avant de le laisser aller dehors pour son bien-être. En effet, Simba ne pourra pas vivre en appartement car il aura besoin de dépense physique et mentale Adopter un chat demande de la patience et de la présence, des clés indispensables pour que l'acclimatation soit réussie.

About simba

What life with simba looks like

simba is a adult cat waiting at SPA Mont-de-Marsan in De Marsan.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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 Mont-de-Marsan 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 Mont-de-Marsan 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 SPA Mont-de-Marsan 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
