Adopt POPPY

Female · Young · 2 years

Our beautiful and gentle POPPY arrived at the shelter via the pound, where they found her wandering the streets. Now, she is waiting for strong paws to welcome her into her new family, one that will take care of her for at least the next 15 years! Patience will be required, as POPPY is currently very afraid of two-legged creatures like us, and a calm home will be crucial for her well-being. The lady being FIV-positive (not Calicivirus-positive), she can only share her home with other felines like herself. Come meet her!

Notre belle et douce POPPY est arrivée au refuge via la fourrière, qui l'avait retrouvée dans la rue. Désormais, elle attend de patounes fermes sa nouvelle famille, celle qui prendra soin d'elle pendant au minimum les 15 prochaines années ! Il faudra faire preuve de patiente car POPPY a pour le moment très peur des 2 pattes comme nous, un foyer calme sera primordial pour son épanouissement. La demoiselle étant positive au FIV (pas au Calicivirus), elle ne pourra partager son foyer qu'avec des copains comme elle. Venez donc faire sa connaissance !

About POPPY

What life with POPPY looks like

POPPY is a young adult cat waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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 POPPY, answered.

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