Adopt DAKAR

Male · Senior · 11 years

I arrived at the shelter in January 2025 because where I lived before, there were many cats, my old owners having become overwhelmed. Today, I am in a foster home but I am waiting for MY family forever. I am still very shy and need time to trust. I am a very gentle little guy, sweet, discreet, and appreciating that attention and affection are shown to me. An environment that is calm without young children would be ideal for me. Unfortunately, I have damaged fused vertebrae that require regular care to alleviate my discomfort. Not being visible at the shelter, no one pays any attention to me. So I hope that I will eventually touch the heart of a super human who will love me forever. To be put in contact with my foster family, please get in touch with the shelter. See you soon.

Je suis arrivé au refuge en janvier 2025 car là où je vivais avant, nous étions de nombreux chat, mes anciens maitres s'étant laissés dépassés. Aujourd'hui, je suis en famille relais mais j'attends MA famille pour toujours. Encore très timide, il me faut du temps pour que j'accorde ma confiance. Je suis un très gentil loulou, doux, discret et appréciant qu'on lui porte attention et affection. Un environnement calme sans jeunes enfants serait idéal pour moi. Malheureusement, j'ai des vertèbres abîmées qui se sont soudées, et j'ai besoin de soins réguliers pour me soulager. N'étant pas visible au refuge, personne ne s'intéresse à moi. Alors j'espère que je vais finir par toucher le cœur d'un super humain qui m'aimera pour toujours. Pour être mis en relation avec ma famille relais, prenez contact avec le refuge. À bientôt.

About DAKAR

What life with DAKAR looks like

DAKAR is a medium-sized senior cat waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Note from the shelter: Spinal condition with fused vertebrae requiring regular care and pain management

🇫🇷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 DAKAR, answered.

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