Adopt CHICAGO

Male · Adult · 5 years

CHICAGO arrived from our area. He is currently showing signs of being wary of humans. This little cat needs gentleness and time to feel at home. With patience and love, he will reveal his sweet nature and endearing personality. Offer him a warm home where he can thrive fully. Contact us to meet CHICAGO and give him the chance he so deserves. Together, let's write a new story full of tenderness and intimacy. He is in urgent need as he is FIV+ and calicivirus positive and must live without other cats of the same species (except carriers) and must not go outside as his health is more fragile. Not suitable for homes with other dogs.

Chicago est arrivé du refuge de Rennes, il se montre pour le moment craintif avec l'humain. Ce minou a besoin de douceur et de temps pour se sentir chez lui. Avec patience et amour, il révélera toute sa douceur et sa personnalité attachante. Offrez-lui un foyer chaleureux où il pourra s'épanouir pleinement. Contactez-nous pour rencontrer Chicago et lui offrir la chance qu'il mérite tant. Ensemble, écrivez une nouvelle histoire pleine de tendresse et de complicité. Il est en SOS car il est positif au sida du chat (FIV+) et au calicivirus et doit donc vivre sans congénères (sauf porteur également) et sans sortir dehors car sa santé est plus fragile.

About CHICAGO

What life with CHICAGO looks like

CHICAGO is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

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.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive and calicivirus positive - must live alone without other cats and cannot go outdoors due to compromised immune system

🇫🇷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 CHICAGO, answered.

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