Adopt Potté

Male · Young · 3 years

This is a shy cat. It needs time and kindness to reveal itself. Once comfortable, it accepts petting by chance and can be won over with treats. It seeks a calm and patient family that will give it a chance. We do not know its interactions with other animals, and a placement with children would need to be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Potté came from the pound, so we do not know its past. Potté is positive for calicivirus and is therefore in an urgent adoption. Due to its more fragile immunity, it must live indoors and only with other cats sharing the same condition.

C'est un chat timide. Il a besoin de temps et de bienveillance pour se révéler. Il arrive à accepter les caresses une fois en confiance par chance il se laisse amadouer avec des friandises. Il recherche une famille calme et patiente qui lui laissera une chance. Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les autres animaux et un placement avec des enfants est à discuter au cas par cas. Potté vient de la fourrière, nous ne connaissons donc pas son passé. Potté est positif au calicivirus et est donc en adoption SOS. Son immunité étant plus fragile que la normale, il devra vivre en intérieur et seulement avec des chats qui partagent la même pathologie.

About Potté

What life with Potté looks like

Potté is a medium-sized young adult cat waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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: Has calicivirus - must live indoors only with cats sharing same condition due to compromised immunity

🇫🇷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 Potté, answered.

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