Adopt NICOLAS

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

NICOLAS is a shy cat. With a bit of time, he will learn to trust and will become affectionate. He is FIV-positive and must not be housed with any other cat that is not FIV-positive; he must live exclusively indoors.

Read original (fr)

Nicolas est un chat timide. Avec un peu de temps il saura accorder sa confiance et se montrera câlin. Positif au FIV, il ne devra pas côtoyer de chat non porteur de la même maladie, et devra vivre exclusivement en intérieur.

About NICOLAS

What life with NICOLAS looks like

NICOLAS is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

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 NICOLAS, answered.

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