Goofy

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Ce beau chat noir et blanc, âgé de 2 ans, est de retour chez nous, car il peut avoir tendance à attaquer lorsqu’il ne souhaite pas être sollicité ou qu’il en a assez des interactions. Il n’apprécie pas être porté. De nature câline lorsqu’il en a envie, il sait également se montrer indépendant. Il a besoin que ses limites soient respectées et que l’on apprenne à reconnaître les moments où il souhaite être tranquille. 🐾 🐱 Ententes et environnement : * Enfants : OK avec des enfants plus grands, à condition qu’ils soient respectueux de ses besoins et de ses limites. * Chats : à évaluer * Chiens : à évaluer 🏡 Le foyer idéal pour lui : Nous recherchons pour lui une famille disposant d’un accès à l’extérieur et qui saura respecter son besoin d’indépendance, sans chercher à le caresser ou à le solliciter lorsqu’il n’en a pas envie. Il aura besoin de personnes attentives à son langage corporel, capables de respecter ses limites pour lui permettre de s’épanouir sereinement. 📞 Pour tout renseignement complémentaire ou si vous souhaitez lui offrir une seconde chance, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02.

About Goofy

What life with Goofy looks like

Goofy is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Goofy, answered.

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