About OREO

What life with OREO looks like

OREO is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge de Jouvence - SPA les amis des bêtes in France.

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 OREO, answered.

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