SNOW

Male · Senior · 11 years

SNOW was found wandering and no one came to claim him. Behind his shyness lies great gentleness: he has never shown any aggression. He now hopes for a loving family that will take care of him.

FR·Show original

Snow a été retrouvé errant et personne n’est venu le réclamer. Derrière sa timidité se cache une grande douceur : il n’a jamais montré d’agressivité. Il espère maintenant une famille aimante qui prendra soin de lui.

About SNOW

What life with SNOW looks like

SNOW is a medium-sized senior cat waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

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 SNOW, answered.

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