Adopt ORION

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 6 years

Arrived recently at the our area and not yet reclaimed, ORION is a rather shy cat at first, but one of great gentleness once he is given time to adapt. Sensitive and affectionate, he seeks a calm and patient home where he can feel safe and reveal all his love. With a little time and lots of cuddles, ORION will become a faithful and endearing companion.

Read original (fr)

Arrivé récemment en fourrière et non récupéré, Orion est un chat un peu timide au premier abord, mais d’une grande douceur lorsqu’on lui laisse le temps de s’adapter. Sensible et affectueux, il cherche un foyer calme et patient où il pourra se sentir en sécurité et révéler tout son amour. Avec un peu de temps et beaucoup de câlins, Orion deviendra un compagnon fidèle et attachant. Orion est FIV+, il ne pourra pas vivre avec d'autres chats non porteur du FIV. Notre adorable Orion vous attend.

About ORION

What life with ORION looks like

ORION is a large adult labrador retriever cat waiting at SPA Vitré in Vitre.

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 ORION, answered.

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