Solon

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Solon came from the pound originally, he was adopted for 2 years then abandoned again at the shelter due to lack of time. He is a rather shy cat and we do not know his past. This is a cat that needs time and kindness to open up and trust. In a calm environment, he can show himself playful and affectionate. We are looking for a placement without young children or dogs that could stress him and delay his adjustment.

Solon vient de la fourrière a l'origine, il a été adopté pendant 2 ans puis abandonné a nouveau au refuge pour faute de temps. C'est un chat assez craintif et nous ne connaissons pas son passé. C'est un chat qui a besoin de temps et de bienveillance pour s'ouvrir et faire confiance. Dans un environnement calme il sait se montrer joueur et affectueux. Nous recherchons un placement sans jeunes enfants ou chien qui pourraient le stresser et retarder son acclimatation.

About Solon

What life with Solon looks like

Solon is a young adult mixed breed 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 Solon, answered.

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