How do I contact the shelter about Urbain?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. AdopteUnChat.org handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Urbain on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Urbain if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — AdopteUnChat.org 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 Urbain 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 Urbain 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 AdopteUnChat.org early rather than rehoming privately; they know Urbain 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.

Urbain

Mixed Breed · Unknown

It's now Urbain's turn to join the care center for much-needed rest. When you first see him, you can't help but feel a lot of sadness, your eyes well up for this rather young cat who is completely in tatters. You can't even count all the wounds, abscesses and tears he has on his entire little body. Broken teeth, a tail cut off at the base, left eye dead... The list is endless. Fortunately, his life of suffering ends today. Today his wounds have been treated, he has been neutered, identified, deparasitized, and examined from all sides. Urbain is a cat with a very strong character; he does not tolerate other animals of the same species but is making increasing progress with humans. He has tested positive, as expected, for FIV (feline AIDS). This little warrior, born in 2017, will remain at the shelter. He is therefore available for sponsorship. You can also participate in his care if you wish.

c’est au tour d’Urbain de rejoindre le centre de soins pour un repos bien mérité. Lorsqu’on le voit pour la première fois, on ne peut s'empêcher de ressentir beaucoup de tristesse, d’avoir les yeux humide pour ce chat pourtant assez jeune qui est complètement en lambeaux. On n’arrive même pas à faire le compte de toutes les plaies, les abcès et déchirures qu’il a sur tout son petit corps. Dents cassées, queue coupée jusqu’à la base, œil gauche mort… La liste est interminable. Heureusement sa vie de souffrance prend fin aujourd’hui. Aujourd’hui ses plaies ont été soignées, il a été castré, identifié, déparasité, examiné de tous les côtés. Urbain est un chat ayant un très fort caractère, il ne supporte pas ses congénères mais il fait de plus en plus de progrès avec les humains. il a été testé sans surprise positif au FIV (sida du chat). Ce petit guerrier né en 2017, restera au refuge. Il est donc proposé au parrainage. Vous pouvez aussi participer à sa prise en charge si vous le souhaitez.

About Urbain

What life with Urbain looks like

Urbain is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at AdopteUnChat.org in Châteauneuf-du-Faou.

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.
