Adopt HUGO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

HUGO is a dog who came to us from the pound, so we don't know his past. He is a bit reserved but allows himself to be approached and petted. A placement with children can be discussed. He is FIV positive and therefore should not have access to the outside. He can live in a house or an apartment as long as the adopters are ready to do whatever is necessary to keep him inside.

Read original (fr)

Hugo est un loulou qui nous arrive de fourrière, nous ne connaissons donc pas son passé. Il se montre un peu sur la réserve mais se laisse approcher et caresser. Un placement avec des enfants peu être discuté. Il est porteur du FIV et ne devra donc pas avoir accès à l'extérieur. Il pourra vivre en maison ou en appartement tant que les adoptants sont prêt à faire le nécessaire pour ne pas le laisser sortir.

About HUGO

What life with HUGO looks like

HUGO is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting HUGO, answered.

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