Adopt Uby

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Uby - 3 years old - Top Gamelle's leading candidate This year, forget Philippe Etchebest: the real star is Uby, 3 years old, competing to win the 2025 Top Gamelle title. His favorite ingredient? Pâtée, which he elevates effortlessly. His technique? Emptying his bowl faster than his shadow. His motto? "The bowl is vital. The cuddle isn't a laser." Uby is untouchable in his kitchen: you don't disturb him, you don't catch him, you let him reign over his kitchen... and his stomach. ✔ OK for cats (as long as they don't steal his ingredients) ❌ No children (they might steal the spotlight with a yogurt) Uby is waiting for his audience: will you be the final jury that gives him the victory, and above all... a new home? I'm waiting for you at the shelter for a tender meeting. Together, we could form a great team!

Je vous attends au refuge pour une rencontre pleine de tendresse. Ensemble, on pourrait former une belle équipe !

About Uby

What life with Uby looks like

Uby is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Anim'toit in Prinquiau.

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 Uby, answered.

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