Adopt MACIS

Male · Adult · 4 years

EN FAMILLE RELAIS MACIS came from the pound, and we do not know his past. He is very timid and has probably never had any contact with humans. He will need patient and gentle adopters who can gradually teach him to trust humans. We do not know his interactions with other dogs, but he seems to tolerate his same-species animals. He is making significant progress in socialization with humans and is gradually accepting petting. He is currently in foster care (not visible at the shelter) to work on his socialization. If you are interested in his profile, do not hesitate to contact an agent!

EN FAMILLE RELAIS Macis vient de la fourrière, nous ne connaissons donc pas son passé. Il est très craintif et n'a probablement jamais eu de contact avec les humains. Il lui faudra des adoptants patients et doux qui lui apprendront petit à petit à faire confiance aux humains. Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les chiens mais il semble tolérer ses congénères. Il est en grosse progression niveau sociabilisation avec les humains et accepte peu à peu les caresses. Il est actuellement en famille relais (non visible au refuge) pour travailler sa sociabilisation. N'hésitez pas à vous adresser à un.e agent.e si vous êtes intéressés par son profil !

About MACIS

What life with MACIS looks like

MACIS is a medium-sized 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.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient socialization work with humans

🇫🇷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 MACIS, answered.

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