TESS

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Tess recently arrived at the shelter and we are getting to know her. Her compatibility with other animals and children is being evaluated. Tess tests positive for FIV (Cat AIDS) so she will need to live indoors without outdoor access and without another cat that carries the same disease. Please contact us by email or phone for more information.

Tess est positive au FIV (Sida du cat) et devra donc vivre en appartement sans accès extérieur et sans autre chat non porteur de la même maladie. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter par mail ou par téléphone pour plus d’informations.

About TESS

What life with TESS looks like

TESS is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Hermeray in Hermeray.

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 TESS, answered.

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