Adopt Roxy

Male · Senior · 17 years

Roxy is a beautiful cat who couldn't handle life at the shelter, as he was extremely aggressive towards humans due to being very stressed. He therefore went to a foster family and evolved there at an astonishingly fast pace! Today, he is a very affectionate cat who is very close to humans, and he also talks a lot!. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Roxy est un magnifique chat qui ne supportait pas la vie au refuge, il était extrêmement agressif avec l’humain car très stressé, il est donc parti en famille relais et a évolué chez celle ci avec une rapidité déconcertante ! Aujourd’hui c’est un chat qui se montre très très câlin et proche de l’humain, c’est aussi un chat qui bavarde beaucoup ! Il cherche une famille calme, sans enfants, il s’entend très bien avec ses congénères mais pas avec les chiens Il pourra vivre en appartement ou en maison C’est un Loulou âgé mais qui mérite de connaître un foyer pour le temps qui lui reste

About Roxy

What life with Roxy looks like

Roxy is a senior cat waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

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 — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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 Roxy, answered.

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