Adopt MOONLIGHT

Male · Young · 1 year

MOONLIGHT is a young, shy cat who is not yet familiar with humans. He is not doing well at the shelter and hides to feel secure, but given his young age, MOONLIGHT can adapt quickly to a reassuring, calm, and peaceful home. He will need to build trust. He is very fond of treats, and this will help to establish a connection. Patience is key with a reserved cat!

Read original (fr)

Moonlight est un jeune chat peureux car il ne connaît pas bien l'être humain. Il n'est pas bien au refuge et se cache pour se rassurer mais vu son jeune âge, Moonlight peut évoluer rapidement au sein d'un foyer rassurant, calme et paisible. Il faudra qu'il prenne confiance. Il est très gourmand et les friandises permettront de nouer le contact. La patience est le maître mot pour un chat réservé !

About MOONLIGHT

What life with MOONLIGHT looks like

MOONLIGHT is a young adult cat waiting at SPA Vichy (Brugheas) in Vichy.

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 MOONLIGHT, answered.

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