1. You contact us by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/k4CHUgpdMKBgRRK37 or by sending us a message via Instagram or Facebook or an email to tsambicats@gmail.com
2. We bring you in touch with our partner organisation which is responsible for adoptions in your country. We DO NOT carry out the adoption process ourselves.
3. In collaboration with our partner organisation we prepare the cat to travel / for adoption. What you need to know in advance:
The cat must be at least 4 months old at the time of travel.
A microchip registered in your name or in the name of the partner organization is required for travel.
A rabies vaccination is a prerequisite for the trip, even though there are no reported cases of rabies in Rhodes. The vaccine becomes officially effective 21 days after administration. A general feline vaccination is also recommended, though not required.
Some countries have additional requirements, such as tests for specific diseases. Please contact us for detailed information based on your destination.
A spot-on treatment for both internal and external parasites must be applied 2 days before traveling.
For cats traveling in the cabin, an IATA-certified bag with four openings is required. For those traveling in cargo, a certified travel crate or box is needed. In both cases, the cat should be able to sit and turn comfortably in the bag or crate, which should be appropriately sized for the cat.
4. Some volunteers may assist by taking the cat to the vet for vaccines, microchip, passport etc. or by fostering the cat until it's ready to travel. Extra costs shall be covered by you or the partner organisation that carries out the adoption process.Â
5. Our partner organisation will organise the transport of your new furry friend to your country and will prepare all the documents needed for the adoption.
