TOM

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Tom is a young kitten who is still a bit timid and needs time to build trust. With patience, gentleness, and lots of love, he’s making progress every day and is beginning to show his full potential. He’s looking for a calm family willing to support him as he learns to socialize and allow him to develop at his own pace. Once he feels confident, Jerry will undoubtedly reveal his true personality and forge a wonderful bond with his adopters.

Tom est un jeune chaton encore un peu craintif qui a besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance. Avec de la patience, de la douceur et beaucoup d'amour, il progresse chaque jour et laisse entrevoir tout son potentiel. Il recherche une famille calme, prête à l'accompagner dans sa sociabilisation et à lui permettre d'évoluer à son rythme. Une fois en confiance, Jerry saura sans aucun doute révéler sa personnalité et créer un beau lien avec ses adoptants

About TOM

What life with TOM looks like

TOM is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Vitré in Vitre.

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 TOM, answered.

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