How do I contact the shelter about Splash?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Valais handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Splash on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Splash if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Valais 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 Splash 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 Splash 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 Valais early rather than rehoming privately; they know Splash 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.

Splash

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Young cat about 2 years old, Splash came to us after being found wandering. Despite the announcements made, no owner has come forward until today. 💔 According to the law, an owner has a two-month period to claim a lost animal. Without any claims, Splash can be permanently adopted starting June 2, 2026. 🏡 💕 Personality: Splash is a cat that is close to humans, comes easily for contact and enjoys cuddles... but in small doses 😸 He has his own little character and knows very well how to make it clear when he wants to be left alone. Playful and full of energy, he needs to burn off energy and loves human company. 🐶 We don't know yet if he gets along with dogs. 🐱 However, he does not get along at all with other cats. 👶 Considering his temperament, we will avoid placing him with young children. 🌿 We are looking for a family that can offer him access to the outside. 📞 For any additional information or in case of interest, please contact us only by phone at 02. ❗ Please do not contact us by message, email or social media.

Jeune chat d’environ 2 ans, Splash est arrivé chez nous après avoir été trouvé errant. Malgré les annonces diffusées, aucun propriétaire ne s’est manifesté jusqu’à aujourd’hui. 💔 Conformément à la loi, un propriétaire dispose d’un délai de deux mois pour réclamer un animal perdu. Sans réclamation, Splash pourra être adopté définitivement à partir du 2 juin 2026. 🏡 💕 Son caractère : Splash est un chat proche de l’humain qui vient facilement chercher le contact et apprécie les câlins… mais à petites doses 😸 Il a son petit caractère et sait très bien faire comprendre quand il souhaite être tranquille. Joueur et plein d’énergie, il a besoin de se dépenser et adore la compagnie des humains. 🐶 Nous ne savons pas encore s’il s’entend avec les chiens. 🐱 En revanche, il ne s’entend pas du tout avec les autres chats. 👶 Au vu de son tempérament, nous éviterons un placement avec de jeunes enfants. 🌿 Nous recherchons pour lui une famille pouvant lui offrir un accès à l’extérieur. 📞 Pour toute information complémentaire ou en cas d’intérêt, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02. ❗ Merci de ne pas nous contacter par message, mail ou réseaux sociaux.

About Splash

What life with Splash looks like

Splash is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
