Zazu

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

I love sunbathing, getting pets, and of course eating — it's always one of my favorite parts of the day! Date of birth: 05.01.2018 Gender: male My life story: I was picked up by volunteers from the animal rescue association in the parking lot of a supermarket in the Chinicato area, Odiáxere. I stayed there for several days, surviving on the food some people left me. Finally, in May 2025, I was taken to the shelter, after they concluded that no one was looking for me and that I probably didn't have an owner. My temperament: I am a very gentle and affectionate cat. I love sunbathing, getting pets, and of course eating — it's always one of my favorite parts of the day! I respond enthusiastically whenever someone calls me for a meal. I get along very well with other cats and also with humans. I've spent enough time on the street and now I just want to find a home where I will be well treated and very loved.

Adoro tomar banhos de sol, receber mimos e, claro, comer — é sempre uma das minhas partes preferidas do dia!

Estive por ali vários dias, sobrevivendo com a comida que algumas pessoas me deixavam. Finalmente, em maio de 2025, fui levado para o abrigo, depois de concluírem que ninguém me procurava e que eu provavelmente não tinha dono. O meu temperamento: sou um gato muito meigo e afetuoso. Adoro tomar banhos de sol, receber mimos e, claro, comer — é sempre uma das minhas partes preferidas do dia! Respondo com entusiasmo sempre que alguém me chama para a refeição. Dou-me muito bem com outros gatos e também com humanos. Já passei tempo suficiente na rua e agora só quero encontrar um lar onde seja bem tratado e muito amado.

About Zazu

What life with Zazu looks like

Zazu is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

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 Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zazu, answered.

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