ZANZIBAR

Male · Adult · 9 years

ZANZIBAR is a big, laid-back cat. He enjoys his peace and likes to nap with his fellow cats. He needs a family that will provide him with a cozy nest and let him move at his own pace. ZANZIBAR is not fearful; he may not be familiar with humans. With gentleness and patience, one can win his trust...ZANZIBAR is very friendly with Charlie. ZANZIBAR is positive for FIV, so it is best that he lives indoors with a secure outdoor area to enjoy the fresh air...

Il a besoin de trouver une famille qui lui offrira un nid douillet et qui le laissera venir à son rythme. Zanzibar n'est pas craintif, il ne connaît pas forcément l'humain. Avec douceur et patience on arrive à tout...Zanzibar est l'inséparable de Charlie. Ils se rassurent mutuellement et leur complicité sera un plus dans leur future famille. Zanzibar se laisse aller au jeu lorsque l'envie lui prend ! A bientôt 10 ans, Zanzibar mérite de vivre choyé dans une famille qui lui offrira enfin la vie qu'il mérite Zanzibar est positif Sida du chat, il est donc préférable qu’il vive en intérieur avec un extérieur clos pour profiter du bon air...

About ZANZIBAR

What life with ZANZIBAR looks like

ZANZIBAR is a adult cat waiting at SPA Vichy (Brugheas) in Vichy.

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 ZANZIBAR, answered.

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