How do I contact the shelter about Caillou?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. S.P.A. du 47 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Caillou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Caillou if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — S.P.A. du 47 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 Caillou 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 Caillou 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 S.P.A. du 47 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Caillou 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.

Caillou

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Caillou is a European cat, male, born on 01/06/2021. He entered the shelter on 10/02/2026 from the association Chats Libres de Condom. His microchip number is 250269101070541. He is spayed. Caillou is a very sensitive and extremely shy cat. Since arriving at the shelter, he prefers to observe quietly from the cat trees, where he feels safe. He is not aggressive at all: he is simply very impressed by the environment of the shelter, which can be stressful for a discreet cat like him. What makes Caillou unique is that behind his shyness is a very soft little heart. Caillou is part of a group of cats removed from a situation related to Noah's syndrome, where many animals lived together without being able to receive the necessary care and attention. He deserves a real chance to discover the sweetness of a home today. Needs and preferences: Caillou will need a calm and patient environment, with adopters willing to give him time to evolve at his own pace. The presence of another cat in his paws will be essential to help him gain confidence and understand that everything is fine in his new home. Regarding the outdoors, we do not yet know if he will really need it, but for precaution a home with access to the outdoors will be preferred. Adopt Caillou. Caillou is offered for SOS adoption because the shelter is not the ideal environment for him.

Présentation de Caillou Race : Européen Sexe : Mâle Date de naissance : 01/06/2021 Date d’entrée au refuge : 10/02/2026 Provenance : Transfert de l’association des Chats Libres de Condom Numéro de puce : 250269101070541 Stérilisé : Oui Caractère Caillou est un chat très sensible et extrêmement timide. Depuis son arrivée au refuge, il préfère observer tranquillement depuis les arbres à chats, où il se sent en sécurité. Il n’est absolument pas agressif : il est simplement très impressionné par l’environnement du refuge, qui peut être stressant pour un chat aussi discret que lui. Ce qui rend Caillou unique Derrière sa timidité se cache un petit cœur très doux. Caillou fait partie d’un groupe de chats retirés d’une situation liée au syndrome de Noé, où de nombreux animaux vivaient ensemble sans pouvoir bénéficier des soins et de l’attention nécessaires. Il mérite aujourd’hui une vraie chance de découvrir la douceur d’un foyer. Besoins et préférences Caillou aura besoin d’un environnement calme et patient, avec des adoptants prêts à lui laisser le temps d’évoluer à son rythme. La présence d’un autre chat bien dans ses pattounes sera indispensable pour l’aider à prendre confiance et à comprendre que tout va bien dans sa nouvelle maison. Concernant l’extérieur, nous ne savons pas encore s’il en aura réellement besoin, mais par précaution un foyer avec accès à l’extérieur sera privilégié. Adoptez Caillou Caillou est proposé en adoption SOS car le refuge n’est pas l’environnement idéa

About Caillou

What life with Caillou looks like

Caillou is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at S.P.A. du 47 in France.

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.
