EBONY

Female · Adult · 4 years

EBONY is a very wild cat who still has a lot to discover about human contact. She will need a lot of time, patience, and a calm and suitable environment to evolve at her own pace. Rough gestures and too-rapid expectations are not for her. The presence of other well-adjusted cats would be a real plus to help her observe, learn, and feel secure. EBONY is looking for a compassionate family ready to give her a chance and accompany her with respect over the long term.

Ebony est une chatte très sauvage, qui a encore tout à découvrir du contact avec l’humain. Elle aura besoin de beaucoup de temps, de patience et d’un environnement calme et adapté pour évoluer à son rythme. Les gestes brusques et les attentes trop rapides ne sont pas faits pour elle. La présence d’autres chats bien dans leurs pattes serait un vrai plus pour l’aider à observer, apprendre et se sentir en sécurité. Ebony recherche une famille compréhensive, prête à lui offrir une chance et à l’accompagner avec respect sur le long terme.

About EBONY

What life with EBONY looks like

EBONY is a small adult cat waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

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: Very feral/wild, needs extensive socialization and patient rehabilitation

🇫🇷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 EBONY, answered.

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