Adopt Mars

Male · Adult · 4 years

Large and sturdy cat, Mars has just joined us but already has a very imposing presence! Friendly and manageable, he enjoys cuddles but knows when to say no. We'll avoid very young children as he won't tolerate them, but Mars is okay with respectful teenagers. For home life, Mars will need to go outside. He hasn't been tested with dogs but seems to tolerate some cats, only with his impressive size do others often fear him.

Read original (fr)

Grand et gros chat très rigolo, Mars est arrivé chez nous depuis peu mais a une présence très imposante ! Sympa et manipulable, il apprécie les câlins mais sait quand dire non. Nous éviterons les tous jeunes enfants qu'il ne supportera pas mais Mars est ok avec des ados respectueux. Pour vie en maison, Mars aura besoin de sortir dehors. Il n'est pas testé aux chiens mais semble supporter certains chats, seulement avec son gabarit impressionnant les autres ont souvent peur de lui.

About Mars

What life with Mars looks like

Mars is a adult cat waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

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 Mars, answered.

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