ARCANE

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

ARCANE was found in Obermodern. ARCANE is a magnificent tomcat with a golden character. Very affectionate and close to humans, he is looking for an exclusive relationship and must be the only cat in the household. Access to the outside is essential for his well-being. ARCANE is a loving, attached and balanced cat who will satisfy a family ready to give him attention and an appropriate environment. Upon arrival, like all our cats over six months old, ARCANE was tested for FELV/FIV. If his FELV test was negative, the FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, or feline AIDS) test showed a positive result. FIV is not transmissible to humans or other animal species, but it can be transmitted between cats, through sexual contact or deep biting. The FIV of ARCANE is not declared, so he is simply HIV positive. It is important to remember that a FIV positive cat can have many long and beautiful years ahead of him.

Arcane a été trouvé à Obermodern. Arcane est un magnifique matou au caractère en or. Très câlin et proche de l’humain, il recherche une relation exclusive et devra être le seul chat du foyer. Un accès à l’extérieur est indispensable pour son bien-être. Arcane est un chat affectueux, attachant et équilibré, qui comblera une famille prête à lui offrir de l’attention et un environnement adapté. À son arrivée, comme tous nos chats de plus de six mois, Arcane a été testé FELV/FIV. Si son test FELV était négatif, le test FIV (Virus de l'Immunodéficience Féline, ou sida du chat) a montré un résultat positif. Le FIV n'est pas transmissible à l'humain ni aux autres espèces animales, mais il peut se transmettre entre chats, par voie sexuelle ou par morsure profonde. Le FIV d'Arcane n’est pas déclaré, il est donc simplement séropositif. Il est important de rappeler qu’un chat FIV positif peut avoir de longues et belles années de vie devant lui.

About ARCANE

What life with ARCANE looks like

ARCANE is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA de Saverne in France.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting ARCANE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ARCANE?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Saverne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ARCANE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ARCANE if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Saverne 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ARCANE 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 ARCANE 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 de Saverne early rather than rehoming privately; they know ARCANE 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.
