BAPHNE

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

BAHPHNE arrived at the shelter after being picked up by the pound, and no one wanted to take her in... The little girl was described as a very cute girl with a bit of shyness :) At the same time, she suffered the trauma of being abandoned on the street, not taken care of by her former family... Today, we want to offer her more than just a roof: a loving, responsible family for life, who will help her forget her abandonment and allow her to flourish peacefully. And if that family was you?

BAHPHNE est arrivée au refuge suite à son passage par fourrière, personne n'a souhaité l'assumer... La demoiselle a été décrite comme une fifille mignonne tout plein avec un brin de timidité :) En même temps, elle a subi le traumatisme de l'abandon sur la voie publique, non assumée par son ancienne famille... Aujourd’hui, nous souhaitons lui offrir bien plus qu’un simple toit : une famille aimante, responsable et pour la vie, qui saura lui faire oublier son abandon et lui permettre de s'épanouir sereinement. Et si c'était vous ce foyer ?

About BAPHNE

What life with BAPHNE looks like

BAPHNE is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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 BAPHNE, answered.

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