BILLY C

Male · Adult · 4 years

Billy is a young cat born in 2022. Before arriving at the shelter, this little one had experienced abuse. His previous life has left a mark on this sweet heart, and it takes him some time to trust. If you understand cat behavior and are able to respect his pace, Billy will surely reward you! The presence of another cat in the household could be a plus to help him integrate. Billy is a carrier of the calicivirus, so he cannot live with cats that are not carriers of this pathology.

FR·Show original

Billy est un jeune chat né en 2022. Avant d'arriver au refuge ce loulou a vécu la maltraitance. Cette ancienne vie a marqué ce joli cœur qui met désormais un certains temps à accorder sa confiance. Si vous connaissez le comportement des chats, et êtes capables de respecter son rythme, sûr que Billy vous le rendra! La présence d'un autre chat dans le foyer pourrait être un plus pour l'aider à s'intégrer. Billy est porteur du calicivirus, il ne pourra pas donc pas vivre aux côtés de chats qui ne sont pas porteurs de cette pathologie.

About BILLY C

What life with BILLY C looks like

BILLY C is a adult cat waiting at SPA Vaux-le-Pénil in Vaux-le-Pénil.

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 BILLY C, answered.

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