About Poker

What life with Poker looks like

Poker is a adult cat waiting at SPA du Ramier (Montauban) in Montauban.

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 Poker, answered.

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