Adopt Godefroy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Godefroy Male Born in April 2025 European Description Description Godefroy is a shy and sensitive cat, still fearful of direct contact. Although he is now more curious and interested in his surroundings, he tends to run away when approached too closely. He needs calm and gentle approaches to feel safe. He also has a toileting issue, related to not knowing the litter box from his previous life. This behavior is not intentional, but the result of a lack of guidance. With time, patience and a stable environment, gradual learning is possible. Godefroy will need a quiet environment, patient and understanding adopters, and ideally the presence of another cat, whether from the shelter or already in the family, to reassure him. He will suit people ready to commit to an adoption project based on gentleness, understanding and respecting the cat's pace. Placement in a house or apartment. Additional information Arrival date at the shelter: December 2025 Identification: 250268781982240 Aggressive with other cats: Yes Dogs: No Children:

Accueil Godefroy Mâle, né en novembre 2023 Catégorie : Adoptés DescriptionInformations complémentaires Godefroy est un chat timide et sensible, encore craintif face au contact direct. S’il est aujourd’hui plus curieux et s’intéresse davantage à ce qui l’entoure, il a toutefois tendance à fuir lorsque l’on s’approche trop. Il a besoin de calme et d’approches tout en douceur pour se sentir en sécurité. Il présente également une malpropreté, liée à une méconnaissance de la litière dans son ancienne vie. Ce comportement n’est pas volontaire, mais le résultat d’un manque de repères. Avec du temps, de la patience et un cadre stable, un apprentissage progressif est possible. Godefroy aura besoin d’un environnement calme, d’adoptants patients et compréhensifs, et idéalement de la présence d’un autre chat, qu’il soit issu du refuge ou déjà présent dans la famille, afin de le rassurer. Il conviendra à des personnes prêtes à s’investir dans un projet d’adoption basé sur la douceur, la compréhension et le respect du rythme du chat. Placement en maison ou en appartement.

About Godefroy

What life with Godefroy looks like

Godefroy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 Godefroy, answered.

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