pattoune

Female · Young · 3 years

Pattoune is a dog who breaks the heart of everyone who meets him. Abandoned for over a year on vacant land, he was taken in by a shelter where he stayed several months. He is a very inhibited but extremely gentle dog. He is afraid of everything and barely moves from his basket. He allows himself to be handled and approached without problems. He must absolutely be placed with another confident dog, in a house with a well-enclosed garden. He is calm and never barks. He will not be placed with young children who might frighten him.

About pattoune

What life with pattoune looks like

pattoune is a medium-sized young adult cat waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

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: Must be placed with another confident dog, requires house with secure garden, extremely fearful and inhibited due to abandonment trauma

🇫🇷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 pattoune, answered.

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