ETHAN

Male · Senior · 11 years

Ethan is a very shy senior cat. He needs time to build his trust and allow people to approach him. Once he feels comfortable, he can still manage some gentle cuddles. He is looking for a quiet apartment or cottage for his retirement. Ethan has not been tested with other cats or dogs and cannot live with children, as he would be afraid of them.

FR·Show original

Ethan alias "Titi" est un papi chat bien timide. Il a besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance et se laisser approcher. Une fois en confiance, il devient câlin et bavard. Ce pauvre Papi a été perdu très longtemps dans la rue où il a survécu tant bien que mal. Il recherche un appartement ou un pavillon calme pour sa retraite. Ethan n'aime pas les autres chats, il est du genre possessif. Il ne pourra pas vivre avec des enfants, il en aura peur.

About ETHAN

What life with ETHAN looks like

ETHAN is a senior cat waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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 ETHAN, answered.

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