VICO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Hello, my name is Vico! I am affectionate and playful, but only when I feel like it. I am a cat who experiences a lot of anxiety when the environment or the people around me are stressed. I need a calm home with access to the outdoors so I can retreat and calm down when I am feeling tense. If children are present, it's not necessarily a problem... as long as my calming signals are respected and I am left alone when I need it. Come meet me! Here are some photos and videos of me:

Bonjour, je m’appelle Vico ! Je suis gourmand et câlin, mais seulement quand j’en ai envie. Je suis un chat qui ressent beaucoup d’anxiété lorsque l’environnement ou les humains autour sont stressés. Il me faut une maison calme, avec un accès à l’extérieur afin de pouvoir me retirer et m’apaiser lorsque je suis en tension. Si des enfants sont présents, ce n’est pas forcément un souci… à condition qu’on respecte mes signaux d’apaisement et qu’on sache me laisser tranquille quand j’en ai besoin. Venez me rencontrer ! Ici, quelques photos et vidéos de moi :

About VICO

What life with VICO looks like

VICO is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Bouguenais) in Nantes.

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. 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. Bouguenais) 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 — Bouguenais) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Bouguenais) 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.
