Alpha

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Street cat who has probably spent some time outside, Alpha quickly became comfortable with us and is now a small cat that enjoys comfort and human contact. He is FIV (feline AIDS) positive and therefore cannot live with other cats. We will avoid young children, as he is a bit shy around things he does not know. Alpha had multiple small fractures from what was probably a collision with a car and still has some lasting effects. For apartment living with a balcony.

FR·Show original

Matou des rues qui a probablement trainé quelques temps dehors, Alpha est devenu vite à l'aise avec nous et devient un petit chat qui apprécie le confort et le contact humain. Il est positif au FIV (sida du chat) et ne pourra donc pas vivre avec d'autres chats. Nous éviterons les jeunes enfants, restant un chat un peu timide de ce qu'il ne connait pas. Alpha a eu de multiples petites fractures lors d'un probable accrochage avec une voiture et en garde quelques séquelles. Pour vie en appartement avec balcon sécurisé.

About Alpha

What life with Alpha looks like

Alpha is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

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 Alpha, answered.

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