Adopt OUPS

Male · Adult · 10 years

OUPS is a cat found wandering on the public streets. Quite shy, he is gradually regaining his confidence at his own pace, treat by treat. A calm and patient home will be necessary for his full development. OUPS has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), so he must not be in contact with other cats who are not carriers. But OUPS will also need another cat with him, who must also be positive for FIV. He will also appreciate an outdoor space like a secure yard or a secure balcony. Here are some photos and videos of OUPS.

Read original (fr)

Oups est un chat trouvé errant sur la voie publique. Assez timide, il commence à redonner sa confiance à son rythme, friandise par friandise. Un foyer calme et patient sera nécessaire pour son plein épanouissement. Oups a été testé positif au sida du chat, il devra donc ne pas être en contact avec d'autres chats non porteurs. Mais Oups aura besoin d'un autre chat avec lui, qui devra donc lui aussi être positif au FIV. Il appréciera également un extérieur comme un jardin sécurisé ou un balcon sécurisé. Ici, quelques photos et vidéos de moi :

About OUPS

What life with OUPS looks like

OUPS is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at Bouguenais) in Nantes.

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.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive - must be indoor only

🇫🇷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 OUPS, answered.

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