How do I contact the shelter about Oedipe?

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

Can I adopt Oedipe if I live in another country?

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

Oedipe

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

A second chance for a still fearful heart 🐾 This lovely cat arrived at our shelter after years of roaming. Despite the announcements made to find his family, unfortunately, no one has come forward to claim him. 💔 In accordance with current legislation, his owner has a two-month deadline to come forward. In the absence of a claim, he can be offered for permanent adoption as of November 28, 2026. 🏡 Due to his long history of roaming, he is still very fearful and lacks trust in humans. He will need time, patience, and especially a lot of kindness to learn to feel safe and discover what it means to finally have a warm home. ❤️ 🐱 Cat: to be evaluated 🐶 Dog: to be evaluated 👧 Child: to be evaluated We are looking for a calm and understanding home for him, ready to invest in his socialization and respect his rhythm. An environment without young children would be preferable, given his fear and sensitivity. An outside area would also be desired, so that when he is ready, he can enjoy an environment adapted to his needs. Do not expect him to be immediately close and cuddly. However, with time, patience, and a lot of kindness, he may gradually learn to trust and reveal the wonderful companion that lies within him. 🐾❤️ 📞 For any additional information or if you would like to offer him a second chance, please contact us by phone only at 02.

🐾 Une seconde chance pour un cœur encore craintif 🐾 Ce joli chat est arrivé chez nous après avoir vécu plusieurs années en errance. Malgré les annonces diffusées afin de retrouver sa famille, personne ne s’est malheureusement manifesté pour le réclamer. 💔 Conformément à la législation en vigueur, son propriétaire dispose d’un délai de deux mois pour se manifester. En l’absence de réclamation, il pourra être proposé à l’adoption définitive dès le 28 novembre 2026. 🏡 De par son long passé d’errance, il se montre encore très craintif et manque de confiance envers l’humain. Il aura besoin de temps, de patience et surtout de beaucoup de douceur pour apprendre à se sentir en sécurité et découvrir ce que signifie enfin avoir un foyer chaleureux. ❤️ 🐱 Chat : à évaluer 🐶 Chien : à évaluer 👧 Enfant : à évaluer Nous recherchons pour lui un foyer calme et compréhensif, prêt à s’investir dans sa sociabilisation et à respecter son rythme. Un environnement sans jeunes enfants serait préférable, compte tenu de sa peur et de sa sensibilité. Un foyer avec un accès à l’extérieur serait également souhaité, afin qu’il puisse, lorsqu’il sera prêt, profiter d’un environnement adapté à ses besoins. Il ne faudra pas attendre de lui qu’il soit immédiatement proche et câlin. En revanche, avec du temps, de la patience et beaucoup de bienveillance, il pourra peut-être progressivement apprendre à faire confiance et révéler le merveilleux compagnon qui sommeille en lui. 🐾❤️ 📞 Pour tout renseignement complémentaire ou si vous souhaitez lui offrir une seconde chance, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02.

About Oedipe

What life with Oedipe looks like

Oedipe is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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.
