ARNOLD

American Bully · Male · Adult · 7 years

ARNOLD, 7 years old, is looking for a kind-hearted family. ARNOLD is an adorable black and white cat, 7 years old. By nature, he is shy and needs time to build trust, but he is a gentle, calm, and non-aggressive companion who appreciates peace and kind gestures. ARNOLD is a carrier of FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus, often incorrectly called "cat AIDS"). This virus is not transmissible to humans or other animal species. With regular veterinary care and an adapted lifestyle, many FIV+ cats live long lives in good quality. He is seeking a quiet, loving, and patient home, ready to offer the security and affection he needs to thrive.

Arnold, 7 ans, cherche une famille au grand cœur Arnold est un adorable chat noir et blanc de 7 ans.

Il recherche un foyer calme, aimant et patient, prêt à lui offrir la sécurité et l'affection dont il a besoin pour s'épanouir.

About ARNOLD

What life with ARNOLD looks like

ARNOLD is a medium-sized adult american bully cat waiting at SPA Vichy (Brugheas) in Vichy.

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 ARNOLD, answered.

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