How do I contact the shelter about Joker?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Fribourg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joker on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Joker if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Fribourg 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 Joker 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 Joker 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 Fribourg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joker 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.

Adopt Joker

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 9 months

Joker is a young cat born outside who did not have the chance to be socialized with humans from an early age. Naturally shy, he will need gentleness, patience and understanding in order to gain trust. But behind this reserve lies a very playful cat, curious and capable of great developments in a calm and reassuring environment. Joker could be adopted with his brother Joyeux, even more shy than him, who would benefit from Joker's more confident temperament to progress in turn. He also gets along well with other cats. After an adaptation period, he will need to be able to go out into the wild (cat door required). In case of interest, please complete the online form "request - interest in adopting a cat". Please also read our placement philosophy. SPA-FribourgLes Maupas 11473 Font Tél 75LU - VE de 08h30 à 11h30 This email address is protected against spam bots. You must enable JavaScript to view it.

Joker est un jeune chat né dehors, qui n’a pas eu la chance d’être habitué à l’humain dès ses premiers jours. Timide de nature, il aura besoin de douceur, de patience et de compréhension pour pouvoir accorder sa confiance. Mais derrière cette réserve se cache un chat très joueur, curieux et capable de belles évolutions dans un environnement calme et rassurant. Joker pourrait être adopté avec son frère Joyeux, encore plus timide que lui, qui bénéficierait du tempérament plus assuré de Joker pour progresser à son tour. Il s'entend également bien avec d'autres chats. Après une période d’adaptation, il devra pouvoir sortir dans la nature (chatière exigée). En cas d’intérêt, merci de compléter le formulaire on-line « demande - intérêt pour l’adoption d’un chat ». Veuillez également lire notre philosophie de placement.

About Joker

What life with Joker looks like

Joker is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Fribourg in Font.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
