GIUSEPPE

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Giuseppe is a sweet elderly cat who arrived at the shelter from the pound. He is a sad victim of abandonment, his elderly owner left the house and Giuseppe was "thrown out" because he was becoming a nuisance. He was left to fend for himself, having to survive on the streets and without food. Giuseppe just wants to find the peace of a stable, loving home and the security of having good, well-filled bowls.

GIUSEPE est un adorable papy chat, arrivé au refuge en provenance de la fourrière... Il est la triste victime d'un abandon, son ancien maitre âgé a quitté le domicile et GIUSEPE a été "foutu" dehors, car il devenait gênant. Il s'est retrouvé livré à lui-même, devant survivre à la vie de la rue et sans avoir à manger... GIUSEPE ne demande qu'à retrouver la tranquillité d'un foyer stable, aimant et la sécurité d'avoir de bonnes gamelles bien remplies :)

About GIUSEPPE

What life with GIUSEPPE looks like

GIUSEPPE is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting GIUSEPPE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about GIUSEPPE?: 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 GIUSEPPE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt GIUSEPPE 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is GIUSEPPE 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 GIUSEPPE 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 GIUSEPPE 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.
