GAROU

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

GAROU is a neutered European male cat born on 01.01.2025 who is HIV-positive. He was identified with a microchip. GAROU arrived from the pound on 13.08.2026, so we do not know his background. He is a very affectionate and food-loving cat.

About GAROU

What life with GAROU looks like

GAROU is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA de Basse-Normandie in Verson.

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 GAROU, answered.

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