IBIS

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

IBIS is a beautiful almost 4-year-old black cat who arrived at our shelter following the death of his owner. This sudden change has deeply shaken his life, and he is now very disturbed by his environment at the shelter. In some photos, IBIS may appear fearful, but the reality is quite different: he is a true loveable cat. Calm, gentle, and very affectionate, he enjoys human company and simply wants to regain the security and affection of a home. Behind his sometimes anxious gaze lies a tender companion who needs time to regain his confidence after this trial. A loving family would help him quickly settle in and reveal his kindness. IBIS eagerly awaits a second chance.

IBIS est un magnifique chat noir de presque 4 ans, arrivé au refuge suite au décès de son propriétaire. Ce changement brutal a profondément bouleversé sa vie, et il est aujourd’hui très perturbé par son environnement au refuge. Sur certaines photos, IBIS peut paraître apeuré, mais la réalité est tout autre : c’est un véritable amour de chat. Calme, doux et très câlin, il apprécie la compagnie humaine et ne demande qu’à retrouver la sécurité et l’affection d’un foyer. Derrière son regard parfois inquiet se cache un compagnon tendre qui a besoin de temps pour reprendre confiance après cette épreuve. Une famille aimante lui permettrait de retrouver rapidement ses repères et de révéler toute sa gentillesse. IBIS attend avec impatience une seconde chance. Offrez-lui le foyer chaleureux qu’il mérite tant

About IBIS

What life with IBIS looks like

IBIS is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Vichy (Brugheas) in Vichy.

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 IBIS, answered.

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