Adopt ARCALYS

Male · Adult · 8 years

ARCALYS was found injured and was taken in and cared for by private individuals who subsequently entrusted him to us to find a family. Currently shy, a calm and patient home will be necessary. He is FIV clear and can only live with other animals of the same species that are also FIV clear. An indoor-only environment with no access to the outdoors will be preferred. We invite you to complete the commitment and knowledge form before meeting him at the shelter. He is available on our website and can be contacted via email using the contact form. All adoptions must be preceded by an in-shelter introduction to all members of the household.

Read original (fr)

Arcalys a été trouvé blessé, il a été recueilli et soigné par des particuliers qui nous l'ont confié par la suite pour lui trouver une famille. Timide pour le moment, un foyer calme et patient sera nécessaire. Porteur sain du FIV, il pourra vivre uniquement avec des congénères FIV également. Un environnement sans accès à l'extérieur sera à privilégier. Nous vous invitons à remplir le certificat d'engagement et de connaissance avant de venir à sa rencontre au refuge. Disponible sur notre site ainsi que par mail via le formulaire de contact. Toutes les adoptions doivent être précédées d’une présentation en refuge à l’ensemble des membres du foyer.

About ARCALYS

What life with ARCALYS looks like

ARCALYS is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at SPA Pornic in Pornic.

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.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive carrier - can only live with other FIV+ cats, requires indoor-only environment

🇫🇷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 ARCALYS, answered.

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