Diego

Mixed Breed · Male

A male dog was taken care of during a large sterilization campaign and had a nasty wound around his neck, but everything is healed to date. He arrived at the shelter in Normandy on September 5, 2026. He is a friendly and comfortable dog with humans 😍 He is active and will surely love long walks! Bonus: He is very food-motivated 🙃 He loves being the center of attention, so he would be a great fit as a single dog in a home. Sex: Male Estimated date of birth: 2024 Size: approx. 12kg and 40-45cm at the withers Cat compatibility: Cat test to be reviewed, very curious according to the tests, may require verification and in any case a gentle introduction with the cats of the adoptive family. iframe {display:block;text-align:center;margin:0 auto} ❤️ Do you want to offer him a home?

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Empattie in menerval.

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 Diego, answered.

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