Fay

Mixed Breed · Female

Fay is a gentle cat who has faced difficult times, but is making progress every day in her socialization. Trapped in a breeding site, she is slowly learning to trust humans and is even starting to eat from her hand, a sign that she feels more secure and is progressing at her own pace. Still shy and reserved, Fay is not affectionate for now and does not let herself be touched easily. She is also not very food-motivated and only eats renal kibble. She gets along with dogs. With a calm, patient, and gentle family, willing to offer her time and attention, Fay will become a discreet and endearing companion, capable of sharing beautiful moments of closeness at her own pace.

FR·Show original

Fay est une chatte douce qui a vécu des moments difficiles, mais qui progresse chaque jour dans sa sociabilisation. Trappée dans un site de prolifération, elle apprend petit à petit à faire confiance aux humains et commence même à venir manger dans la main, signe qu’elle se sent plus en sécurité et qu’elle progresse à son rythme. Encore timide et réservée, Fay n’est pas câline pour l’instant et ne se laisse pas toucher facilement. Elle n’est pas très gourmande non plus et ne mange que de la pâtée rénale. Elle est ok avec les chiens.Avec une famille calme, patiente et douce, prête à lui offrir du temps et de l’attention, Fay deviendra une complice discrète et attachante, capable de partager de beaux moments de proximité à son rythme.

About Fay

What life with Fay looks like

Fay is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Côtes d in France.

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 Fay, answered.

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