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.

Godefroy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Home Godefroy Male, born in November 2023 Category: Adopted DescriptionAdditional Information Godefroy is a shy and sensitive cat who remains wary of direct human contact. Although he’s now more curious and shows greater interest in his surroundings, he still tends to flee when someone approaches too closely. He needs a calm environment and gentle, patient interactions to feel safe. He also exhibits litter box issues, stemming from a lack of familiarity with the litter tray during his previous life. This behavior is not intentional but rather the result of missing familiar cues. With time, patience, and a stable environment, gradual training is entirely possible. Godefroy will need a quiet home, patient and understanding adopters, and ideally the presence of another cat—whether from the shelter or already living in the family—to help reassure him. He’ll be well-suited to individuals willing to commit to an adoption journey based on kindness, understanding, and respect for the cat’s pace. Placement in a house or apartment is possible. Additional Information Gender Male Breed European Origin Born in April 2025 Date of arrival at the shelter December 2025 Identification 250268781982240 Living Conditions Apartment acceptable Energy Gets along with cats Yes Gets along with dogs Does not get along with other dogs Children No young children, yes teenagers Similar products Mila Nobel New Delhi

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.
