Adopt Pélican

Male · Adult · 4 years

Pelican and her 66 companions were rescued from the shelter after suffering from poor treatment, living in an unsanitary apartment with a hundred cats. While they are generally quite social, they will need time to regain trust and adapt to a normal life. Having never known children, a quiet home will be essential for them to feel secure. They can live just as well in an apartment as in a house, but it is crucial that they be adopted by two or that another cat already be present in the household. Give them a chance to discover the affection and warmth of a real home.

Pelican et ses 66 compagnons ont été récupérés au refuge suite à un mauvais traitement, vivant dans un appartement insalubre avec une centaine de chats. Bien qu'ils soient tous plutôt sociables, ils auront besoin de temps pour retrouver confiance et s'adapter à une vie normale. N’ayant jamais connu les enfants, un foyer calme sera essentiel pour les mettre en confiance. Ils peuvent vivre aussi bien en appartement qu'en maison, mais il est essentiel qu'ils soient adoptés par deux ou qu'un autre chat soit déjà présent dans le foyer. Offrez-leur une chance de découvrir l'affection et la chaleur d'un véritable foyer.

About Pélican

What life with Pélican looks like

Pélican is a adult cat waiting at SPA Plouhinec in Plouhinec.

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 Pélican, answered.

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