Adopt EMILE

Male · Young · 3 years

Hi there, my name is Émile. I'm a cat who was found and can be described as being fearful. So there will be a lot of work to be done with me. Time and patience will be necessary for me to trust people. Please do your research well before considering adopting me, as I don't want it to be an unthoughtful adoption and be returned to the shelter. I am FIV-positive, so I'll need to stay indoors. I know I'm not the type of cat that everyone will want, but I hope to find the ideal family that will welcome me into a quiet home. If you feel up to it, come meet me.

Salut les amis, je m'appelle Émile. Je suis un chat qui a été trouvé et on peut dire de moi que je suis craintif. Il y aura donc pas mal de temps à me consacrer. De la douceur et de la patience seront nécessaires pour que j'arrive à faire confiance aux personnes. Je suis positif au FIV, je devrai éviter d'aller a l'extérieur. C'est sûr que je ne suis pas un chat très sociable et avenant mais j'espère trouver la famille idéale qui saura m'accueillir dans un endroit calme. Si vous vous sentez prêt à me donner l'amour, la patience et la douceur dont j'ai besoin : venez vite me rencontrer.

About EMILE

What life with EMILE looks like

EMILE is a young adult cat waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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 EMILE, answered.

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