What about Asylum, for all animals and a tag for the spieces, cats, dags, horses or guinea pigs ?

That word has different connotations in English: either a lunatic asylum (outdated term for a hospital or home for the mentally ill) or political asylum (meaning the protection afforded by one country to refugees fleeing political oppression in their home countries).


If you look at its translations, asylum is certainly a word that will be understood by all Indo-European languages. But not the Russian, Ukrainian Bulgarian triplet.
But I don't see well which of your meanings applies to animals ;-) Fortunately, in addition to the same "asile d'aliénés" and "asile politique", French has "asile de paix" that's just a calm, resting place without any restriction regarding the guests and their need for protection.
BTOW, French étable (stable) is just for cows, not horses.
