Adopt Tao

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Presentation of Tao Breed: European Sex: Male Date of birth: 11/10/2025 Date of entry to the shelter: 22/04/2026 Provenance: Rescued after a road accident by well-meaning people who brought him to the veterinarian clinic of the Confluent in Aiguillon. Microchip number: 250269611747772 FIV/FeLV test: Negative Sterilized: Yes His story: On April 18, 2026, Tao was found severely injured by the roadside by kind individuals who brought him to the veterinarian clinic of the Confluent in Aiguillon. Despite prompt care, the injuries to his right hind leg were too severe and amputation was necessary. Unidentified and never claimed, Tao was then entrusted to the shelter to find a family. All documents related to his care will be provided to adopters. Character: Tao is an extraordinarily affectionate cat. A true lap warmer, he starts purring at the slightest caress and adores human presence. After a few weeks of adaptation where he remained discreet and hidden, he revealed his true personality: today, he calls volunteers with meows, follows them everywhere, and constantly seeks contact. What makes Tao unique: Despite what he has gone through, Tao fully enjoys life. His disability does not seem to hold him back: he plays, runs, explores, does his kitten mischief, and regularly amuses the entire shelter team.

Présentation de Tao Race : Européen Sexe : Mâle Date de naissance : 11/10/2025 Date d’entrée au refuge : 22/04/2026 Provenance : Pris en charge après un accident sur la voie publique Numéro de puce : 250269611747772 Test FIV / FeLV : Négatif Stérilisé : Oui Son histoire Le 18 avril 2026, Tao a été retrouvé grièvement blessé au bord d’une route par des personnes bienveillantes qui l’ont conduit à la clinique vétérinaire du Confluent à Aiguillon. Malgré une prise en charge rapide, les blessures de sa patte arrière droite étaient trop importantes et une amputation a été nécessaire. Non identifié et jamais réclamé, Tao a ensuite été confié au refuge afin de lui trouver une famille. Tous les documents relatifs à sa prise en charge pourront être remis aux adoptants. Caractère Tao est un chat extraordinairement affectueux. Véritable boîte à ronrons, il se met à ronronner à la moindre caresse et adore la présence humaine. Après quelques semaines d’adaptation où il restait discret et caché, il a révélé sa véritable personnalité : aujourd’hui, il appelle les bénévoles en miaulant, les suit partout et recherche constamment le contact. Ce qui rend Tao unique Malgré ce qu’il a traversé, Tao profite pleinement de la vie. Son handicap ne semble pas le freiner : il joue, court, explore, fait ses bêtises de jeune chat et amuse régulièrement toute l’équipe du refuge. Très gourmand, il apprécie particulièrement la pâtée et adore observer le monde extérieur depuis une fenêtre, discuter avec les

About Tao

What life with Tao looks like

Tao is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at S.P.A. du 47 in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Tao, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tao?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. S.P.A. du 47 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tao on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tao if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — S.P.A. du 47 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 Tao 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 Tao 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. du 47 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tao 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.
