Tic

Male · Young · 2 years

Tic arrived at the shelter with his companion Tac. He is a small, lively and affectionate degus, always on the move and curious about what's going on around him. A bit reserved at first, he is gradually gaining confidence and becoming more comfortable in our presence. He observes, explores and no longer hesitates to come and see what we are doing. With time, patience and positive interactions, Tic will continue to open up and reveal his full potential. This little adventurer is looking for a calm and caring home, where he can live a fulfilling life as a degus alongside a companion. Degus are social animals that need to live with a companion. They require a very large cage with many opportunities to climb, run, and exercise. They also enjoy sand baths to groom their fur and need regular outings in a secure area to exercise.

Tic est arrivé au refuge avec son compagnon Tac. C'est un petit octodon vif et attachant, toujours en mouvement et curieux de ce qui se passe autour de lui. Un peu réservé au premier abord, il prend progressivement confiance et se montre de plus en plus à l'aise en notre présence. Il observe, explore et n'hésite plus à venir voir ce que nous faisons. Avec du temps, de la patience et des interactions positives, Tic continuera à s'ouvrir et à révéler tout son potentiel. Ce petit aventurier recherche un foyer calme et bienveillant, où il pourra vivre une vie d'octodon épanouie aux côtés d'un congénère. Les octodons sont des animaux grégaires qui ont besoin de vivre avec un congénère. Ils nécessitent une très grande cage aménagée avec de nombreuses possibilités de grimper, courir, se dépenser. Ils apprécient également les bains de sable pour entretenir leur pelage et ont besoin de sorties régulières dans un espace sécurisé pour se dépenser.

About Tic

What life with Tic looks like

Tic is a extra-large young adult animal waiting at SPA Colmar in France.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Tic far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇫🇷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 Tic, answered.

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