Adopt Uby

Female · Young · 3 years

🎯 Her little summary Meet Uby, a sweet little girl who just wants to be loved. A bit shy at first, Uby turns into a real ball of joy once she feels confident. A fan of quiet naps and lively games, she is ready to bring joy and love into your home. 💬 What you need to know about her Uby is a gentle, adorable and a bit shy cat. But once she lets her guard down, she loves to play like a wild child with her favorite toy. She is infected with the FIV virus and therefore requires special attention. However, this does not prevent her from leading a normal and happy life. She is an excellent eater and enjoys every meal. 🏡 Her ideal home Uby needs a home where she would be the only cat or in the company of another FIV carrier cat. A home where she would be loved, cherished and given time to adapt to her new environment. A home that would understand her specific needs and be ready to give her the love and care she deserves. ❤️ Keep in mind Uby is a cat who deserves a second chance. Despite her FIV status, she can lead a healthy and happy life in the right home. Gentle, playful and loving, Uby is ready to be your faithful companion. Give her a chance to live the life she deserves.

About Uby

What life with Uby looks like

Uby is a young adult cat waiting at SPA Saint-Étienne Loire in Saint-Étienne.

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. SPA Saint-Étienne Loire 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 — SPA Saint-Étienne Loire 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 SPA Saint-Étienne Loire 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.
