Adopt SHREK

Male · Adult · 4 years

EN FAMILLE RELAIS SHREK is a street cat that we took in in June 2024 as his health was deteriorating. He can be clingy and talkative, always seeking attention or cuddles, which he really needs. He is docile, though some treatments can scare him. We don't know how he gets along with dogs or young children. He is in urgent adoption because he is carrier of FIV (cat AIDS) and FELV (feline leukemia), but these viruses have not yet manifested, and his health is good. He is also affected by a calicivirus infection, which manifests as mouth inflammation. The ideal home for SHREK would be one with no outdoor access, owners present at home, and no other cats, unless they share the same health issues.

EN FAMILLE RELAIS Shrek est un chat des rues que nous avons mis à l’abri en juin 2024 car son état de santé se dégradait. Tantôt pot de colle, tantôt bavard, il sait réclamer l’attention ou les câlins dont il a grand besoin. Il est docile, même si certains soins peuvent l'apeurer. Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les chiens ni les jeunes enfants. Il est en adoption SOS car il est porteur du FIV (sida du chat) et de la FELV (leucose), mais ces virus ne se sont pas encore déclarés et son état de santé est bon. Il est également atteint d’une calicivirose qui se manifeste par une inflammation de la bouche. Le foyer idéal pour Shrek serait sans accès à l’extérieur, des maîtres présents au domicile et n’ayant pas d’autres chats, à moins qu'ils partagent les mêmes pathologies que lui.

About SHREK

What life with SHREK looks like

SHREK is a 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.

🇫🇷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 SHREK, answered.

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