Adopt MAYA

Husky · Female · Adult · 6 years

Maya was abandoned at the shelter with her litter. Somewhat reserved, she seeks gentle and patient adopters who won't rush the process. She's not comfortable with handling at the moment. All her training needs to be done using positive and kind methods. Living outdoors, it will be necessary to transition her gradually. For this reason, we require placement with outdoor access away from urban stimuli. The presence of a first dog would be a plus. We avoid young children. Her compatibility with cats is unknown (testing can be done depending on profiles). Please research the breed's needs thoroughly.

About MAYA

What life with MAYA looks like

MAYA is a large adult husky cat waiting at SPA Saint-Omer in Omer.

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: Not comfortable with handling, needs gradual transition to indoor living, requires outdoor access away from urban stimuli

🇫🇷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 MAYA, answered.

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