Adopt MARIO

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

MARIO 3 years old Dubai I am MARIO. One day, despite fear and hunger, I found the courage to approach a house. I was just looking for a little food and perhaps a chance to finally be safe. But the street didn't spare me, and I returned a few weeks later, seriously injured, my body marked by life on the outside. After several weeks of care, I understood that some hands knew how to heal and love. Behind my scars, I am a sweet, sensitive, and very affectionate cat. My profile: Male – long hair Born in May 2023 I am: Vaccinated (Typhus, cat flu, and rabies) Dewormed Castrated Identified by microchip FIV+ / FeLV negative FIV does not prevent a beautiful life: I can live long and happy with my family. My personality: Gentle Affectionate Endearing My needs: I must be the only cat in the household, I don't like other cats.

About MARIO

What life with MARIO looks like

MARIO is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Gamelles Sans Frontière in Île-de-France.

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 MARIO, answered.

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