How do I contact the shelter about Obelix?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Fribourg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Obelix on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Obelix if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Fribourg 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 Obelix 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 Obelix 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 Fribourg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Obelix 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.

Obelix

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Obelix is a severely obese cat about whose previous life we know nothing. He is currently following a well-defined diet and will need to continue a weight loss program. He must be placed in a home without other cats, as he does not appreciate living with other animals of the same species. Obelix loves being able to go outside, but he could also live in a large apartment, provided he has activities to help him maintain his fitness and sufficient human presence to keep him stimulated and occupied. If you are interested, please complete the online "interest form" for adopting a cat.

Obelix est un chat souffrant d’obésité morbide dont nous ne connaissons malheureusement rien de la vie avant son arrivée au refuge. Il suit actuellement un régime alimentaire bien défini et devra poursuivre un programme de perte de poids. Il devra être placé dans un foyer sans autre chat, car il n’apprécie pas la cohabitation avec ses congénères. Obelix aime pouvoir sortir à l’extérieur, mais il pourrait également vivre dans un grand appartement, à condition de bénéficier d’activités lui permettant de poursuivre sa remise en forme et d’une présence humaine suffisante pour le stimuler et l’occuper. En cas d’intérêt, merci de compléter le formulaire on-line « demande - intérêt pour l’adoption d’un chat ». Veuillez également lire notre philosophie de placement.

About Obelix

What life with Obelix looks like

Obelix is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Fribourg in Font.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
