ADIBOU

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Adibou arrived at the shelter following an investigation involving a large number of cats living in the same environment. Very fearful, he remains wary of humans for now and does not yet accept contact. Everything around him is new to him, and he needs time to understand that he is now safe. Adibou is looking for a calm, patient, and caring family, ready to respect his pace and give him the space needed to evolve at his own tempo. With time, gentleness, and a lot of understanding, Adibou will be able to gradually gain confidence and discover the joys of a serene family life.

Adibou est arrivé au refuge suite à une enquête impliquant un grand nombre de chats vivant dans le même environnement. Très craintif, il reste pour l’instant méfiant envers l’humain et n’accepte pas encore le contact. Tout ce qui l’entoure est nouveau pour lui, et il a besoin de temps pour comprendre qu’il est désormais en sécurité. Adibou recherche une famille calme, patiente et bienveillante, prête à respecter son rythme et à lui laisser l’espace nécessaire pour évoluer à son propre tempo. Avec du temps, de la douceur et beaucoup de compréhension, Adibou pourra progressivement prendre confiance et découvrir les joies d’une vie de famille sereine.

About ADIBOU

What life with ADIBOU looks like

ADIBOU is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Sarreguemines in Sarreguemines.

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 ADIBOU, answered.

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