GILEAD

Male · Adult · 5 years

GILEAD arrived at the shelter from Martinique, via a partner association Les Moustikat's :) Our little one was described as a cute and gentle kitten, always on time for meals :) Originally, GILEAD was part of a spaying/neutering campaign in Martinique, but being a friendly kitten, let's hope he finds his way to adoption! Being FIV positive, he can only share his home with other FIV-positive friends. Come meet him and make his acquaintance :)

GILEAD est arrivé au refuge en provenance de Martinique, via une association partenaire Les Moustikat's :) Notre loulou a été décrit comme un minou adorable et gentil, toujours au rdv pour les repas :) A la base, GILEAD est issu d'une campagne de stérilisation en Martinique, mais étant un loulou sociable, autant qu'il trouve le chemin de l'adoption ! Etant porteur du FIV, il ne pourra partager son foyer qu'avec des copains comme lui. Venez donc faire sa connaissance :)

About GILEAD

What life with GILEAD looks like

GILEAD is a adult cat waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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 GILEAD, answered.

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