Adopt NANOU

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Gentle and discreet cat seeks patient home This sweet cat, with a calm temperament and a bit of shyness, is looking for a kind family that will give him time to build trust. Behind his reserve lies an adorable, sensitive, and endearing companion. He is FIV-positive (cat AIDS), but this does not prevent him from living a happy and comfortable indoor life, surrounded by love and attention. His interactions with other cats and dogs are still to be tested. A gradual introduction will therefore be preferable if you already have pets. He deserves a reassuring home, full of gentleness, where he can flourish at his own pace.

Chat doux et discret cherche foyer patient Ce gentil chat au tempérament calme et un peu timide recherche une famille bienveillante qui saura lui laisser le temps de prendre confiance. Derrière sa réserve se cache un compagnon adorable, sensible et attachant. Il est porteur du FIV (sida du chat), mais cela ne l’empêche pas de vivre une vie heureuse et confortable en intérieur, entouré d’amour et d’attention. Ses ententes avec les autres chats et les chiens sont encore à tester. Une rencontre progressive sera donc préférable si vous avez déjà des animaux. Il mérite un foyer rassurant, rempli de douceur, où il pourra s’épanouir à son rythme.

About NANOU

What life with NANOU looks like

NANOU is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Forbach in Forbach.

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 NANOU, answered.

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