How do I contact the shelter about Bob?

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 Bob on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bob 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 Bob 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 Bob 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 Bob 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.

Bob

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

This magnificent 6-year-old black Ragdoll mix arrived at our shelter after a move. Used to having outdoor access, he was unfortunately deprived of this freedom, which greatly frustrated him and led to cleanliness issues. He is a very affectionate, sociable, and human-oriented cat. He enjoys cuddles, likes "talking" with his humans, and can sometimes be a bit grumpy. He needs an attentive family who will give him time and attention. He gets along well with older children. We are not yet aware of his behavior around other cats and he has had no contact with dogs. As with any adoption, some adjustment time will be needed. We are looking for a loving and available family living in an environment where he can again enjoy safe outdoor access. 📞 For further information, please contact us by phone only at 02. Thank you for not contacting us via message, email or social media.

Ce magnifique chat noir croisé Ragdoll, âgé de 6 ans, est arrivé chez nous à la suite d’un déménagement. Habitué à avoir un accès à l’extérieur, il s’est malheureusement retrouvé privé de cette liberté, ce qui l’a beaucoup frustré et a entraîné des problèmes de propreté. C’est un chat très affectueux, sociable et proche de l’humain. Il apprécie les moments de câlins, aime “discuter” avec ses humains et peut parfois se montrer un peu râleur. Il a besoin d’une famille présente qui pourra lui accorder du temps et de l’attention. Il s’entend bien avec les grands enfants. Nous ne connaissons pas encore son comportement avec les autres chats et il n’a pas été en contact avec des chiens. Comme pour toute adoption, un temps d’adaptation sera nécessaire. Nous recherchons pour lui une famille aimante et disponible, vivant dans un environnement où il pourra à nouveau profiter d’un accès sécurisé à l’extérieur. 📞 Pour tout renseignement complémentaire, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02. ❗ Merci de ne pas nous contacter par message, par e-mail ou via les réseaux sociaux.

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is a adult mixed breed 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.
