GOUMS

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

GOUMS is a sweet, affectionate little cat. She has trouble managing her emotions and can sometimes be aggressive as a result. An outdoor access will be essential for her well-being. For safety reasons, there should be no young children in the household. At the shelter, GOUMS does not get along with other cats. It would be best if she were the only furball in the household. We remind you that for adopting an animal, you must present the signed and dated commitment and knowledge certificate at least 7 days before your visit to the shelter. Without this document, you will not be able to adopt.

About GOUMS

What life with GOUMS looks like

GOUMS is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Cluses in Cluses.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting GOUMS, answered.

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