Adopt ZAMPA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

For Adoption: ZAMPA, a tri-colored cat just under 2 years old Hello, I'm ZAMPA. The name means "tripod" in Italian… ironic, isn't it? My life almost came to a premature end. I was found in a critical condition with a severely fractured and infected paw. To save me, the veterinarians had to amputate. Despite everything, I remained gentle and trusting. Today, I am in a foster family, in good health, and I am learning to live again. I do stumble sometimes, but I always get back up with courage and gentleness. I am very affectionate, sensitive, and attached to humans. I love company, cuddles, kisses, and tender moments. I don't like being alone and I always hope for a presence near me. Male — Born on June 5, 2024 (estimate) dewormed, vaccinated, neutered and microchipped FIV & FeLV: negative Very social with other cats OK with dogs Indoor only adoption fee:

À l’adoption : Zampa, jeune chat tripatte de presque 2 ans Bonjour, moi c’est Zampa. Ça veut dire « patte » en italien… ironique, non ? Ma vie a failli s’arrêter bien trop tôt. On m’a trouvé dans un état critique, avec une patte gravement fracturée et infectée. Pour me sauver, les vétérinaires ont dû m’amputer. Malgré tout, je suis resté doux et confiant. Aujourd’hui, je suis en sécurité dans une famille d’accueil, en bonne santé, et je réapprends à vivre. Il m’arrive de trébucher, mais je me relève toujours, avec courage et douceur. Je suis très affectueux, sensible et attaché aux humains. J’adore la compagnie, les câlins, les bisous et les moments tendres. Je n’aime pas être seul et j’espère toujours avoir une présence près de moi. Mâle — Né le 5 juin 2024 (estimation) Vermifugé, vacciné, castré et pucé FIV & FeLV : négatif Très sociable avec les autres chats OK avec les chiens Foyer intérieur obligatoire Frais d’adoption : 300 € + 19 € pour la caisse de transport J’arrive de Dub

About ZAMPA

What life with ZAMPA looks like

ZAMPA is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Gamelles Sans Frontière in Île-de-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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting ZAMPA, answered.

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