Adopt SMACK

Female · Senior · 12 years

SMACK is a small, calm, and endearing cat. She is a one-eyed cat, but this does not prevent her from being gentle and close to humans. By nature shy, she prefers to observe quietly before granting her trust. After the passing of her owner, she spent long months alone with other cats, so she is okay with other cats. She can live with another FIV+ cat. Once she feels secure, SMACK becomes affectionate and enjoys being petted. She is FIV-positive and will need to live indoors without access to the outdoors, and will require a peaceful, patient, and compassionate home to thrive fully.

Smack est une petite chatte calme et attachante. Elle est borgne, mais cela ne l’empêche pas d’être douce et proche de l’humain. D’un naturel timide, elle préfère observer tranquillement avant d’accorder sa confiance. Suite au décès de sa propriétaire, elle a passé de longs mois seule avec d’autres chats, elle est donc ok chats. Elle pourra vivre avec un autre chat FIV+. Une fois en confiance, Smack se montre tendre et apprécie les caresses. Positive au FIV, elle devra vivre en intérieur, sans accès à l’extérieur, et aura besoin d’un foyer paisible, patient et bienveillant pour s’épanouir pleinement.

About SMACK

What life with SMACK looks like

SMACK is a senior cat waiting at SPA Vannes in Vannes.

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 SMACK, answered.

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