SMACKS (FIV+)

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

A gentle kitten available for adoption. A bit shy, it will take time and patience for her to feel comfortable in her new home. /! She is FIV positive. It is possible that the FIV test is positive due to antibodies from her mother still present in her blood. The test will be repeated when she is 6 months old. However, we cannot confirm that she is not a carrier of the virus. We remind you that for the adoption of an animal, you must present the dated and signed commitment and knowledge certificate at least 7 days before your visit to the shelter. Without this document, you will not be able to adopt.

Nous vous rappelons que pour l'adoption d'un animal, vous devez présenter le certificat d'engagement et de connaissance daté et signé au moins 7 jours avant votre venue au refuge.

About SMACKS (FIV+)

What life with SMACKS (FIV+) looks like

SMACKS (FIV+) is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Cluses in Cluses.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 SMACKS (FIV+), answered.

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