Adopt Stanley

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Stanley is a lovely cat, determined to live a long and beautiful life with his future adopters. With his calm and quiet personality, he will bring a peaceful atmosphere to your home. Stanley has a passion for comfort and loves to curl up warmly in his cushion, where he feels safe and happy. It is essential to give a chance to cats like Stanley, often misunderstood by the public. Their FIV status does not define their ability to love and be loyal companions. Adopting Stanley gives a second chance to a cat who deserves all the love and attention in the world. (*) ℹ️ When a cat tests "positive," it does not mean that he is sick, but that he is seropositive. In other words, that the virus "lies dormant" in his body, where it can remain silent for several years (5 to 10 years) and may even never wake up. ℹ️ Stanley is determined to live with you for many years without saying anything... except love, of course, which he will have for you ... but that, you'll work out with him 🤣.

STANLEY a une passion pour le confort et adore se lover bien au chaud dans son coussin, où il se sent en sécurité et heureux.

En adoptant STANLEY, vous offrez une seconde chance à un félin qui mérite tout l'amour et l'attention du monde. (*) ℹ️ Lorsqu’un chat est testé « positif », cela ne signifie pas qu’il est malade, mais qu’il est séropositif. Autrement dit, que le virus « sommeille » dans son organisme, où il peut rester silencieux pendant plusieurs anées (5 à 10 ans) et peut-être même ne jamais se réveiller. ℹ️ STANLEY a bien l’intention de vivre à vos côtés de très longues années sans rien déclarer… à part l’amour, bien entendu, qu’il vous portera … mais ça, vous vous arrangerez avec lui 🤣.

About Stanley

What life with Stanley looks like

Stanley is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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 Stanley, answered.

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