Cayenne

Belgian Malinois · Female · Adult · 5 years

Cayenne is an adorable mixed-breed Malinois born in 2013. Collected by the Assistance to Animals Foundation after being found wandering, she has lived at the Assistance to Animals Foundation shelter in Villevaudé for 5 years, in hopes of finding a family. Victim of her impressive appearance and her age, Cayenne unfortunately falls into the category of "invisible" residents. However, behind this appearance lies a affectionate, energetic, and loving dog who particularly enjoys petting and walks. Cayenne is waiting for one last chance: to finally live in a loving home, with a family that will be able to offer her the comfort and attention she deserves. For more information or to meet Cayenne, contact our .

Cayenne est une adorable croisée Malinois née en 2013. Recueillie par la Fondation Assistance aux Animaux après avoir été trouvée errante, elle vit depuis 5 ans au refuge Fondation Assistance aux Animaux de Villevaudé, dans l’attente d’une famille. Victime de son physique jugé impressionnant et de son âge, Cayenne fait malheureusement partie des pensionnaires dits “invisibles”. Pourtant, derrière cette apparence se cache une chienne câline, dynamique et pleine d’amour, qui apprécie particulièrement les caresses et les balades. Cayenne attend une dernière chance : celle de vivre enfin dans un foyer aimant, auprès d’une famille qui saura lui offrir le confort et l’attention qu’elle mérite. Pour plus d’informations ou pour rencontrer Cayenne, contactez notre refuge de Villevaudé (Seine-et-Marne).

About Cayenne

What life with Cayenne looks like

Cayenne is a large adult belgian malinois cat waiting at Fondation Assistance aux Animaux in Paris.

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 Cayenne, answered.

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