Adopt BOUBA

Male · Senior · 13 years

Bouba is an elderly cat looking for a quiet home where he can enjoy a peaceful retirement. While he can be affectionate, he has his own personality and knows how to make his preferences clear when he’s not in the mood. He will need to live in a separate part of the home for his well-being. Bouba has not been tested with dogs and hates cats, but he would prefer to be the only animal in the household anyway. He will also not tolerate children in his home.

Read original (fr)

Bouba est un vieux chat qui cherche un foyer calme où couler une retraite paisible. S'il peut se montrer câlin, il a son caractère et sait très bien faire comprendre s'il n'est pas d'humeur. Il devra vivre en pavillon pour son bien-être. Bouba n'est pas testé aux chiens, déteste les chats mais préfèrera de toute façon être le seul animal du foyer. Il n'acceptera pas non plus des enfants chez lui.

About BOUBA

What life with BOUBA looks like

BOUBA is a senior cat waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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 BOUBA, answered.

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