Adopt Speech (Sos)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Hello, I am Speech, a little cat. I don't know the exact date of my birth, but it must be around 8 years old now. I love lots of cuddles, I purr loudly and pat very fast when I am on comfortable laps. I am very calm, but I have my moments of madness and play where I love to run everywhere! I often try to communicate with my humans to ask for food, but I am not sure they always understand me, or maybe they pretend not to. However, I have some health issues; I have arthritis, which is most noticeable with my left hind leg, on which I have trouble putting weight. I also have cancer in my mammary glands, it is a malignant tumor that can metastasize to other parts of my body like my lungs. The operation to remove this tumor will not be simple and quite painful, especially since I have a heart murmur (I don't do things by halves, so it's on both sides) which increases the risk with anesthesia. Despite these small health issues, I would like to be able to enjoy as much as possible with a loving family, where I can rest, purr, and pat, while bringing joy by playing with balls, bags, or any other game you have! I will be placed without children and without other animals, to give me the maximum peace for my last days, as I do not have a long life expectancy. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to find my last home. My profile interests you and you would like to meet me, contact the LPA-NF in Lille at our area. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal needs to be the only pet in the home.

Bonjour, je suis Speech, une petite chatte, je sais plus exactement quand je suis née mais ça doit faire maintenant environ 8 ans. J'aime beaucoup les câlins, je ronronne fort et patoune très vite quand je suis sur des confortables genoux. Je suis très calme, mais j'ai mes moments de folie et de jeu où j'aime bien courir partout ! J'essaye souvent de communiquer avec mes humains pour leur demander à manger, mais je ne suis pas sûr qu'ils me comprennent souvent, ou bien ils font semblant de ne pas comprendre... Par contre j'ai quelques problèmes de santé, j'ai de l'arthrose, ça se voit surtout avec ma patte arrière gauche sur laquelle j'ai du mal à m'appuyer. J'ai aussi un cancer au niveau des mamelles, c'est une tumeur maligne qui peut métastaser à tout moment dans d'autres parties du corps comme mes poumons. L'opération pour retirer cette tumeur ne sera pas simple et assez douloureuse, d'autant plus que j'ai un souffle au cœur (je ne fais pas les choses à moitié donc c'est des deux côtés) qui augmente le risque avec l'anesthésie. Malgré ces petits soucis de santé, je voudrais pouvoir profiter autant que possible chez une famille aimante, sur qui je pourrais me reposer, ronronner et patouner, tout en leur apportant de la gaieté en jouant avec des balles, des sacs ou tout autre jeu que vous aurez ! Je serais placée sans enfants, et sans autres animaux, afin de me donner le maximum de calme pour ma fin de vie, car je n'aurais pas une grande espérance de vie. Merci de me donner l'opportunité de trouver mon dernier foyer. Mon profil vous intéresse et vous souhaitez me rencontrer, contacter la LPA-NF de Lille au 03-20-52-52-16.

About Speech (Sos)

What life with Speech (Sos) looks like

Speech (Sos) is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at LPA Nord de la France in Lille.

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 Speech (Sos), answered.

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