MARSIK

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

Male Castrated European Born 08.11.2020 Identified by chip Marsik arrived at the shelter on 06.08.2021 from Ukraine! 🇺🇦 The conflict that is still ravaging Ukraine unfortunately does not spare the animals... 😿 We were contacted by an overwhelmed association on the ground, which was looking for a solution to save several dogs and cats left to their own devices. Without hesitation, we responded. ❤️ Do not hesitate to come and see them at the shelter from 2pm to 5:30pm, Monday to Saturday without an appointment, and fill out a form! They are ready to find their family, a gentle, patient, loving family... who will offer them what the war has taken.❤️‍🩹

About MARSIK

What life with MARSIK looks like

MARSIK is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA de Basse-Normandie in Verson.

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 MARSIK, answered.

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