How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Fribourg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rocky if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Fribourg 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 Rocky 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 Rocky 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 Fribourg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocky 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.

Rocky

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Rocky is a young cat who has unfortunately had bad experiences with humans, especially children, which makes him still distant and wary. He will need a understanding and experienced adopter, ready to accompany him patiently in his progress. For now, he doesn't let himself be petted yet, but he is progressing positively and is beginning to regain trust in humans. He enjoys playing and treats, which will be valuable allies in building a bond with him. A home without children is essential. He can live alone or with another young friendly cat, who can accompany him in play and in gaining confidence. Access to the outside via a cat flap (required) is necessary for his well-being. In case of interest, please complete the online form "request - interest in adopting a cat". Please also read our placement philosophy.

Rocky est un jeune chat qui a malheureusement vécu de mauvaises expériences avec l’humain, en particulier avec les enfants, ce qui le rend encore distant et méfiant. Il aura besoin d’un adoptant compréhensif et expérimenté, prêt à l’accompagner avec patience dans la poursuite de ses progrès. Pour le moment, il ne se laisse pas encore caresser, mais il évolue positivement et commence à reprendre confiance en l’humain. Il apprécie le jeu et les friandises, qui seront de précieux alliés pour créer un lien avec lui. Un foyer sans enfants est indispensable. Il peut vivre seul ou avec un autre jeune chat sociable, qui pourra l’accompagner dans le jeu et dans sa prise de confiance. Un accès à l’extérieur via une chatière (obligatoire) est nécessaire à son bien-être. En cas d’intérêt, merci de compléter le formulaire on-line « demande - intérêt pour l’adoption d’un chat ».

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Fribourg in Font.

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.
