Adopt Strike

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

This cat is a loving companion who enjoys cuddles and being close to humans. He likes spending time with his contacts, while needing his pace and limits to be respected. He can become reactive if not given enough quiet, which is why he will suit a calm environment, with adopters attentive to his language and needs. He has a heart murmur that must be regularly monitored. This does not affect his everyday well-being, but requires careful veterinary attention.

Read original (fr)

Ce chat est un compagnon affectueux qui apprécie les moments de câlins et la proximité avec l’humain. Il aime partager du temps avec ses référents, tout en ayant besoin que son rythme et ses limites soient respectés. Il peut se montrer réactif si on ne lui laisse pas suffisamment de tranquillité, c’est pourquoi il conviendra davantage à un environnement calme, avec des adoptants attentifs à son langage et à ses besoins. Il présente un souffle au cœur qui devra être surveillé régulièrement. Cela n’impacte pas son bien-être au quotidien, mais nécessite un suivi vétérinaire attentif.

About Strike

What life with Strike looks like

Strike is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA de Besançon 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 Strike, answered.

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