OPI

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Opi's story... 627 days spent waiting behind the bars of his cage... his 3rd shelter... 1 adoption failure... Yet, Opi is waiting for one thing, for someone to finally reach out to him... Behind his great sensitivity is a cat who sometimes struggles to manage his emotions. When he feels overwhelmed or misunderstood, he can react by biting. Opi will need a calm home, a peaceful and stable environment, he will need to be the only animal in the home, and will need access to the outdoors, which will be essential to his daily balance. With a patient person, attentive to his signals and respectful of his rhythm, Opi is not an "easy" cat, but he is a cat who deserves that we take the time to understand him. Giving him a chance is accepting to learn to know him and build a relationship of trust with him. For more information, you can send an email to

About OPI

What life with OPI looks like

OPI is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Chamarande in Chamarande.

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 OPI, answered.

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