Vagabond

Male · Young · 1 year

Vagabond is a young male cat with beautiful green eyes that was trapped along with Valou, likely from the same litter. Vagabond is timid and does not allow himself to be petted yet. Vagabond is very playful, especially in the evening; long games will help him relax and have a good time in the presence of a human. A small anecdote: he likes to steal sponges or kitchen rags. He's also quite fond of food, so some treats will help him relax and get used to humans. Vagabond still needs time, patience, and listening to gain confidence.

FR·Show original

Vagabond jeune chat male aux magnifiques yeux vert, a été trappé avec Valou, surement issue de la même portée. Vagabond est craintif et ne se laisse pas encore caresser. Vagabond est très joueur surtout le soir, de longues parties de jeux aideront à la détendre et à passer de bon moment en présence d’un humain. Petit anecdote : il aime piquer les éponges ou les lavettes de la cuisine. Gourmand, quelques friandises l’aideront à se détendre et appréhender l’humain. Vagabond aura besoin encore de temps, de patience et d’écoute pour prendre confiance.

About Vagabond

What life with Vagabond looks like

Vagabond is a young adult cat waiting at SPA du Dauphine in Grenoble.

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 Vagabond, answered.

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