Mercredi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Shy by nature, I prefer to hide when someone approaches me. I need time to observe and feel safe. With kindness and a bit of patience, I however start to enjoy petting and human presence. I am FIV+, which means my immune system is more fragile. This does not prevent me from living in good health, provided I have an appropriate environment and regular veterinary care.

Timide de nature, je préfère me cacher lorsque l’on s’approche de moi. J’ai besoin de temps pour observer et me sentir en sécurité. Avec de la douceur et un peu de patience, je commence cependant à apprécier les caresses et la présence humaine. Je suis porteur du FIV+, ce qui signifie que mon système immunitaire est plus fragile. Cela ne m’empêche pas de vivre en bonne santé, à condition d’avoir un environnement adapté et un suivi vétérinaire régulier.

About Mercredi

What life with Mercredi looks like

Mercredi is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA de Besançon in 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, and shelters often cover sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and a passport. Confirm with the shelter what is included. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mercredi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mercredi?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SPA de Besançon handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mercredi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mercredi if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SPA de Besançon whether they will for Mercredi, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mercredi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Mercredi. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SPA de Besançon, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mercredi isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SPA de Besançon about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mercredi 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.
