Adopt Brave

Male · Adult · 9 years

My name is Brave, or at least the name they gave me when they took me in on that winter evening of January 12. I've been wandering since 2022, as far as we can estimate... moving from house to house, trying to find something to eat, all while braving the winds and storms. Hoping that one day someone would take me in. I'm not wild; I love cuddles and don't blame humans. All I'm looking for is a loving home that will accept my difference. And yes, after years of stray wandering, I was diagnosed with FIV+ and can only live in an apartment (possibly with another FIV+ cat).

Moi c’est Brave, enfin, le prénom qu’on m’a donné quand on m’a recueilli, ce soir d’hiver du 12 janvier. Errant depuis 2022 de ce qu’on estime .. j’allais de maison en maison, pour essayer de manger, tout en bravant vents et tempêtes. En espérant qu’un jour on puisse me recueillir. Je ne suis pas sauvage, j’adore les câlins, et n’en veux pas aux humains. Tout ce que je cherche, c’est un foyer aimant, qui acceptera ma différence. Et oui, après ces années d'errance, on m’a diagnostiqué FIV + je ne pourrais vivre qu’en appartement (possiblement avec un autre chat FIV+), je suis aussi diabétique et j'ai besoin de prendre un traitement tous les jours Je m'entend très bien avec les chiens Venez me rencontrer

About Brave

What life with Brave looks like

Brave is a adult cat waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

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 Brave, answered.

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