Avy

Male · Adult · 5 years

This 5-year-old Savannah cat is looking for a suitable home because he no longer received enough attention at home and tended to mark. **Character:** He is a gentle and affectionate cat when he wants to be. However, he needs a lot of attention, interaction, and stimulation on a daily basis. Like many cats of his breed, he is very lively, intelligent, and active. He needs to expend his energy both physically and mentally and benefit from varied and stimulating activities. When he is very excited, he can have a tendency to nip. He is used to going outside and needs access to the outdoors. However, it should be noted that he has a very developed hunting instinct and can attack small animals, especially chickens. **Compatibility:** * **Cats:** He is territorial and would prefer to be the only cat in the household. * **Dogs:** He has already lived with a small, calm dog that tended to ignore him. * **Children:** To be evaluated. **His future home:** We are looking for a very present person or family who can devote time to him and meet his specific needs. Ideally, we would like someone with experience with Savannah cats or other cats with a similar profile. He will not be placed as the first cat. Before submitting an adoption application, it is essential to thoroughly research the breed, its character, and the specific needs it entails. A Savannah requires a significant investment of time, stimulation, and a suitable environment. **Contact:** For any additional information or if you are interested, please contact us by phone at 02. **Please do not contact us by message, email, or social media.**

🐾 À la recherche d’un foyer adapté Ce magnifique Savannah de 5 ans est arrivé chez nous car il ne bénéficiait plus d’une présence suffisante à la maison et avait tendance à faire du marquage. ❤️ Son caractère C’est un chat gentil et affectueux, qui apprécie les câlins lorsqu’il en a envie. Il a toutefois besoin de beaucoup de présence, d’attention et d’interactions au quotidien. Comme beaucoup de Savannah, il est très vif, intelligent, actif et joueur. Il a besoin de se dépenser aussi bien physiquement que mentalement et de bénéficier d’activités variées et stimulantes. Lorsqu’il est très excité ou qu’il ne souhaite pas être sollicité, il peut avoir tendance à pincer. Il est donc important de savoir respecter ses limites et de bien comprendre son langage. 🌿 Un accès à l’extérieur indispensable Il est habitué à sortir et aura besoin d’un accès à l’extérieur. Son instinct de chasse est cependant très développé : il a notamment déjà ramené des poules naines à la maison. 🐓😱 🐱 Ententes • Chats : il les tolère, mais peut se montrer territorial. Il préférera donc être le seul chat du foyer. • Chiens : il a déjà vécu avec un petit chien calme, qui avait tendance à l’ignorer. • Enfants : à évaluer. Nous privilégions un foyer sans enfants en bas âge, notamment en raison de sa tendance à pincer. 🏡 Le foyer que nous recherchons Nous recherchons pour lui une personne ou une famille très présente, capable de lui consacrer du temps et de répondre à ses besoins spécifiques. Nous souhaitons qu’il rejoigne une personne ayant déjà de l’expérience avec les Savannah. Il ne sera pas placé comme premier chat. Adopter un Savannah demande un investissement important, aussi bien en temps et en présence qu’en stimulation et en environnement adapté. ❤️ 📞 Pour toute information complémentaire ou en cas d’intérêt, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02. ❗ Merci de ne pas nous contacter par message, e-mail ou via les réseaux sociaux.

About Avy

What life with Avy looks like

Avy is a small adult cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Avy, answered.

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