Adopt GROOMY

Male · Adult · 8 years

GROOMY arrived at the shelter through the pound, like most of his other animals of the same species he was not identified, and had an abscess on one of his hind legs. Was this problem the reason for his abandonment?... Regardless, the dog had to be amputated... Currently recovering, GROOMY is very affectionate with humans, so much that the veterinarians almost adopted him :) Given that our dog is FIV positive and has gingivitis, he can only share a home with friends like him. We have promised him a future filled with love and stability. So, is it with you that it's happening?

GROOMY est arrivé au refuge par l'intermédiaire de la fourrière, comme la plupart de ses congénères il n'était non identifié, et présentait un abcès sur l'une de ses pattes arrières. Est-ce ce problème qui lui a valu son abandon ?... Toujours est-il que le loulou a du être amputé... Nous lui avons promis une future vie remplie d'amour et de stabilité. Alors c'est chez vous que ça se passe ?

About GROOMY

What life with GROOMY looks like

GROOMY is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive, gingivitis, amputated rear leg, requires home with FIV positive cats only

🇫🇷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 GROOMY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about GROOMY?
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 GROOMY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt GROOMY 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is GROOMY 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 GROOMY 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 GROOMY 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.
