About Pompom

What life with Pompom looks like

Pompom is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest in Bordeaux.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues โ€” keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ทAdopting 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 โ‚ฌ150โ€“โ‚ฌ300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pompom, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pompom?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pompom on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pompom if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Pompom 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pompom isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pompom 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 โ€” 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.
