DAÏ

Male · Young · 3 years

It should be known that white cats are very sensitive to the sun, particularly on parts of the body where the fur is very fine (ears, nose). Prolonged and regular exposure can cause serious skin cancers. In summer, it is advisable to keep the cat indoors during the hottest hours of the day. On the other hand, there are specific sunscreens for cats. DAÏ is a friendly but independent and whimsical cat. Sometimes, in the excitement of play, he may indulge in some "excesses," biting without restraint and forgetting to use "velvet paws." For this reason, he must be placed with access to the outside, in a home without young children, with people who are used to cats.

Il faut savoir que les chats blancs sont très sensibles au soleil, particulièrement sur les parties du corps où le poil est très fin (oreilles, nez). Une exposition prolongée et régulière peut provoquer des cancers graves de la peau. L’été, il est conseillé de garder le chat à l’intérieur pendant les heures les plus chaudes de la journée. D’autre part, il existe des crèmes solaires spécifiques pour les chats. DAÏ est un chat familier mais indépendant et fantasque .Quelquefois, dans l’excitation du jeu, il se laisse aller à quelques « débordements », mord sans retenue et oublie de faire « patte de velours ». Pour cette raison, il sera placé impérativement avec un accès à l’extérieur, dans un foyer sans jeunes enfants, chez des personnes habituées aux chats.

About DAÏ

What life with DAÏ looks like

DAÏ is a young adult cat waiting at SPA de Lyon et du Sud-Est.

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 DAÏ, answered.

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