FOIN C

Male · Adult · 4 years

Foin arrived with us through the pound, and we do not know his past. He is a shy and reserved cat who will need time to reveal himself. Foin can live in a house or an apartment, without access to the outdoors. Indeed, he is a carrier of FIV (cat AIDS) and thus cannot live in contact with other cats of the same species who are not also carriers of the same pathology. He also cannot live in contact with children. Foin does not appreciate constraints or forced handling. We do not know how he gets along with other animals.

FR·Show original

Foin est arrivé chez nous par le biais de la fourrière, nous ne connaissons donc pas son passé. C'est un chat timide et réservé qui aura besoin de temps pour se révéler. Foin pourra vivre en maison ou en appartement, sans accès à l'extérieur. En effet, il est porteur du FIV (sida du chat) et ne pourra donc pas vivre au contact de ses congénères s'ils ne sont pas porteur de la même pathologie. Il ne pourra pas non plus vivre au contact d'enfants. Foin n'apprécie pas la contrainte ni la manipulation forcée. Nous ne connaissons pas son entente avec les autres animaux.

About FOIN C

What life with FOIN C looks like

FOIN C is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at SPA Vaux-le-Pénil in Vaux-le-Pénil.

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 - cannot live with other cats unless they are also FIV positive

🇫🇷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 FOIN C, answered.

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