TANUKI

Male · Adult · 6 years

TANUKI arrived at the shelter via the pound, because unfortunately like many of his cat companions, he was not identified (although this is mandatory), and therefore the pound services could not contact his previous family... We have promised TANUKI that a kind-hearted family will come visit him soon! Come meet him :)

TANUKI est arrivé au refuge via la fourrière, car malheureusement comme bon nombre de ses camarades chats, il n'était pas identifié (alors que c'est obligatoire), et donc impossible pour les services de fourrière, de prendre contact avec son ancienne famille... Nous avons promis à TANUKI qu'une famille au grand cœur viendrait prochainement lui rendre visite ! Venez donc le rencontrer :)

About TANUKI

What life with TANUKI looks like

TANUKI is a adult cat waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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 TANUKI, answered.

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