SURICAT C

Female · Adult · 6 years

Suricat arrived at our shelter several months ago. She is a shy little cat who doesn't let herself be touched. However, she is very curious and greedy. She will need a calm home that can give her the time she needs to evolve at her own pace. Suricat can live in an apartment or a house. She is sociable with other cats of the same species but we do not know how she gets along with dogs. Suricat is a carrier of the calicivirus, so she cannot live in a home that is not also a carrier of this pathology.

FR·Show original

Suricat est arrivée au refuge il y a plusieurs mois. C'est une minette craintive qui ne se laisse pas toucher. Elle est cependant très curieuse et gourmande. Elle aura besoin d'un foyer calme qui saura lui accorder le temps nécessaire pour évoluer à son rythme. Suricat pourra vivre en appartement ou en maison. Elle est sociable avec ses congénères mais nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les chiens. Suricat est porteuse du calicivirus, elle ne pourra pas donc vivre au sein d'un foyer qui ne sont pas porteurs de cette pathologie.

About SURICAT C

What life with SURICAT C looks like

SURICAT C is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at SPA Vaux-le-Pénil in Vaux-le-Pénil.

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.

Note from the shelter: Carrier of calicivirus - cannot live with non-carrier cats

🇫🇷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 SURICAT C, answered.

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