VICO

Male · Adult · 9 years

VICO arrived at our shelter from another site in our network in hopes of increasing its chances of adoption with us :) VICO is not very comfortable around humans and needs his own space to feel secure. We are still getting to know him and taking the time to build a friendship with him. Our little one is a carrier of gingivitis, so he can live with other carriers like himself. Come meet him!

VICO nous est arrivé au refuge en provenance d'un autre site de notre réseau, afin d'avoir plus de chances d'adoption par chez nous :) VICO n'est pas très à l'aise avec l'Humain, il a besoin d'avoir son espace à lui pour se sentir en sécurité. Il faut prendre le temps de faire ami-ami avec lui mais rien n'est insurmontable :) Notre loulou étant porteur de gingivite et de la Leucose féline (FelV), il pourra vivre avec des copains porteurs comme lui. Venez donc faire sa connaissance !

About VICO

What life with VICO looks like

VICO is a adult cat waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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 VICO, answered.

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