Adopt Dolly

Male · Adult · 10 years

Dolly arrived with us following the passing of his owner. Born in 2015, he is a calm cat seeking a new loving home. He is a cat carrier of FIV and will need to live indoors and be the only cat in the household, unless they are also FIV carriers. His ears were cropped due to past health issues. He is a shy cat but turns out to be affectionate once he feels comfortable. He will need a calm home with someone who can also respect his need for independence.

Dolly est arrivé chez nous suite au décès de sa propriétaire. Né en 2015, c’est un minou calme qui cherche aujourd’hui un nouveau foyer aimant. Porteur du sida du chat, il devra vivre en intérieur et être le seul chat du foyer, sauf si eux-mêmes sont porteurs du sida. Il a les oreilles coupées suite à d’anciens soucis de santé C'est un chat timide mais qui se révèle câlin une fois en confiance. Il aura besoin d'un foyer calme avec quelqu'un qui saura aussi respecter son besoin d'indépendance.

About Dolly

What life with Dolly looks like

Dolly is a medium-sized adult 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.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive - must live indoors and be the only cat unless other cats are also FIV positive. Has cropped ears from previous health issues but no current problems.

🇫🇷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 Dolly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dolly?
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 Dolly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dolly 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 Dolly 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 Dolly 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 Dolly 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.
