CALI

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

CALI was found in Goetzenbruck. Hello, I'm CALI. I came from a countryside spaying/neutering site where I lived before coming here. At the beginning of the year, I was reported because I was in bad shape... and indeed, I had a serious injury to my tail and some neurological issues. We don't know exactly what happened to me, but we think another animal may have attacked me. I had to have my tail amputated, and after several treatments and veterinary consultations, including an MRI, we discovered that I also had an inner ear infection, which made me deaf. I was also tested positive for FIV. FIV is not transmissible to humans or other animal species, but it can be transmitted between cats, through sexual contact or deep bite wounds. The FIV of CALI is not declared, she is therefore just seropositive. It is important to remember that an FIV positive cat can have many long and beautiful years ahead of him.

Cali a été trouvée à Goetzenbruck. Bonjour, moi c’est Cali. Je viens d’un site de campagne de stérilisation où je vivais avant d’arriver ici. Au début de l’année, on m’a signalée parce que j’étais mal en point… et effectivement, j’avais une grave blessure à la queue et quelques soucis neurologiques. On ne sait pas exactement ce qui m’est arrivé, mais on pense qu’un autre animal a pu m’attaquer. J’ai dû me faire amputer la queue, et après plusieurs soins et consultations vétérinaires, dont un scanner, on a découvert que j’avais aussi une otite de l’oreille interne, ce qui m’a rendue sourde. On m’a aussi testée positive au FIV. Le FIV n'est pas transmissible à l'humain ni aux autres espèces animales, mais il peut se transmettre entre chats, par voie sexuelle ou par morsure profonde. Le FIV de Cali n’est pas déclaré, elle est donc simplement séropositive. Il est important de rappeler qu’un chat FIV positif peut avoir de longues et belles années de vie devant lui. Avec beaucoup de patience

About CALI

What life with CALI looks like

CALI is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA de Saverne 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting CALI, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CALI?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Saverne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw CALI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt CALI if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Saverne 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is CALI 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 CALI 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 de Saverne early rather than rehoming privately; they know CALI 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.
