Adopt Chase

Male

Chase is a shy and fearful cat who needs time to feel safe. When he is scared, he can puff out to express himself, but he is not aggressive. It's simply his way of saying he needs space. He will need a patient, gentle, and attentive family, ready to respect his pace without rushing him. A calm environment will be essential to help him gain confidence. For his peace of mind and as a precaution, Chase will be more comfortable in a home without children.

Read original (fr)

Chase est un chat timide et craintif qui a besoin de temps pour se sentir en sécurité. Lorsqu’il a peur, il peut souffler pour s’exprimer, mais il n’est pas agressif. C’est simplement sa manière de dire qu’il a besoin de distance. Il aura besoin d’une famille patiente, douce et à l’écoute, prête à respecter son rythme sans le brusquer. Un environnement calme sera essentiel pour l’aider à prendre confiance. Pour sa tranquillité et par précaution, Chase sera plus à l’aise dans un foyer sans enfants.

About Chase

What life with Chase looks like

Chase is a adult cat waiting at SPA de Besançon 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Chase, answered.

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