SHADOW

Male · Young · 2 years

SHADOW arrived at the shelter from one of our network sites in hopes of having more adoption chances with us. Originally, the litter and its two siblings were abandoned because their previous family could no longer physically care for them... SHADOW doesn't understand what's happening, having been accustomed to the comfort of a well-structured daily routine for many years... Since our little one is FIV-positive, he can only share a home with other FIV-positive companions. Come meet him!

FR·Show original

SHADOW est arrivé au refuge en provenance d'un autre site de notre réseau, afin d'avoir plus de chances d'adoption par chez nous. A la base le loulou et ses 2 copains ont été abandonnés, car leur ancienne famille n'était plus en capacité physique de s'en occuper... SHADOW ne comprend pas ce qui lui arrive, lui qui a été habitué durant de nombreuses années au confort d'un quotidien bien rythmé... Etant donné que notre loulou est porteur du FIV, il ne pourra partager son foyer qu'avec des copains comme lui. Venez donc faire sa connaissance !

About SHADOW

What life with SHADOW looks like

SHADOW 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 SHADOW, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SHADOW?
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 SHADOW on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SHADOW 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 SHADOW 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 SHADOW 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 SHADOW 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.
