Adopt IRIS 2

Female · Adult · 5 years

Iris arrives from the pound; she is a sweet, shy kitten who will need time to build trust. However, we have observed consistent progress in her foster family thanks to her appetite. It's time for her to be adopted. She is positive for calicivirus and FIV, so she can only live with other cats that carry the same illnesses and will have no outdoor access.

Iris nous arrive de la fourrière, c'est une louloute craintive qui aura besoin de temps avant d'accorder sa confiance. Cependant nous avons pu constater une constante progression dans sa famille relais grâce a sa gourmandise. Il est temps pour elle d'être adoptée. Positive au calicivirus et FIV, elle ne pourra donc vivre qu'avec des chats porteurs des mêmes pathologie, et sans accès à l'extérieur.

About IRIS 2

What life with IRIS 2 looks like

IRIS 2 is a adult 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 IRIS 2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about IRIS 2?
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 IRIS 2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt IRIS 2 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 IRIS 2 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 IRIS 2 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 IRIS 2 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.
