SPIKOU

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Spikou et Spooky sont arrivés ensemble, suite au décès malheureux de leur propriétaire. Ce sont deux chats très sensibles qui ont besoin d'un temps d'adaptation. Tous deux particulièrement en demande d'interactions humaines, ils adorent les câlins et se révèlent être de grands gourmands. Un placement rapide en foyer est souhaité, car Spooky a beaucoup de mal à supporter la vie au refuge. Lieu de vie recherché : Ils ont déjà connu l'extérieur, la vie en appartement est donc impossible pour eux. Un accès dehors leur sera indispensable. Autres informations : Ok chats Ok enfants Chiens à tester Dans l'idéal, nous souhaiterions les voir partir ensemble, car ils sont très complices. Toutefois, nous étudierons avec attention toutes les demandes d'adoption afin de trouver la meilleure solution pour eux.

About SPIKOU

What life with SPIKOU looks like

SPIKOU is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at AVA Refuge — Agir pour la Vie Animale in France.

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 SPIKOU, answered.

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