Rainbow

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

This lovely kitty is looking for her forever family 🐾 This tricolor cat, about 2 years old, arrived at our shelter after being found wandering. Despite the announcements made, no owner has come forward as of yet. 💔 According to current legislation, an owner has two months to claim a lost animal. In the absence of a claim, this adorable kitty will be available for permanent adoption starting from July 26, 2026. 🏡 She is affectionate and enjoys cuddles and human company. However, she is a sensitive cat who needs gentleness and patience, as she can easily be scared if treated too abruptly. To give her the best living environment, we are looking for a quiet home without children and without other cats, as our tricolor cat does not appreciate the company of other felines. We would also like to find a family that can allow her to continue enjoying outdoor excursions. 📞 Please call at 02. ❗ Please do not contact us via message, email, or social media. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Cette jolie minette recherche sa famille pour la vie 🐾 Cette jolie chatte tricolore, âgée d’environ 2 ans, est arrivée chez nous après avoir été trouvée errante. Malgré les annonces diffusées, aucun propriétaire ne s’est manifesté à ce jour. 💔 Conformément à la législation en vigueur, un propriétaire dispose d’un délai de deux mois pour réclamer un animal perdu. En l’absence de réclamation, cette adorable minette pourra être proposée à l’adoption définitive à partir du 26 juillet 2026. 🏡 De nature affectueuse, elle apprécie les câlins et la présence humaine. Cependant, c’est une chatte sensible qui a besoin de douceur et de patience, car elle peut rapidement être effrayée si l’on se montre trop brusque avec elle. Afin de lui offrir le cadre de vie qui lui convient le mieux, nous recherchons pour elle un foyer calme, sans enfants et sans autres chats, ceux-ci n’étant pas appréciés par notre jolie tricolore. Nous souhaitons également lui trouver une famille qui pourra lui permettre de continuer à profiter de sorties en extérieur. 📞 Pour tout renseignement complémentaire ou si vous souhaitez lui offrir une seconde chance, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02. ❗ Merci de ne pas nous contacter par message, e-mail ou via les réseaux sociaux.

About Rainbow

What life with Rainbow looks like

Rainbow is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rainbow, answered.

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