DINO

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

DINO arrived one day on the terrace of a house. At first very fearful, he gradually gained confidence until fully integrating his welcoming home. Today, he is seeking a new family as his current caregivers are leaving the island permanently. He is a very playful, mischievous, and energetic cat. He loves interacting with humans and can sometimes nibble or scratch a bit when playing. A home without young children will therefore be preferable. Once DINO is comfortable, he is close to his humans and enjoys cuddles. He will need some time to adapt to his new environment and access to the outdoors after a period of integration. He gets along with other cats after a period of adaptation. Dogs have not been tested. DINO is now waiting for his forever family.

FR·Show original

Dino est arrivé sur la terrasse d'une maison, à Mayotte. Très craintif au départ, il a peu à peu pris confiance jusqu'à intégrer pleinement son foyer d'accueil. Aujourd'hui, il cherche sa famille définitive. Timide au premier abord, c'est un chat joueur, espiègle et plein d'énergie une fois en confiance. Il adore interagir avec les humains, mordillant lorsqu'il joue. Un foyer sans jeunes enfants sera donc préférable. Dino saura également profiter des moments câlins avec les personnes qu'il aime. Prudent de nature, il aura un besoin d'un certain temps pour s'adapter à un nouvel environnement. Peureux face au vent et à la pluie, il reste un chat aventureux qui exigera un accès à l'extérieur.

About DINO

What life with DINO looks like

DINO is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Vannes in Vannes.

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 DINO, answered.

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