ALBA

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

ALBA is a beautiful young cat of about 1 year old, with a curious look and plenty of energy. She is a very dynamic and playful little cat. Despite her energy, ALBA is also very affectionate and enjoys moments of tenderness once the playtime is over. We advise against young children as ALBA does not always control her strength and energy. ✨ ALBA is now waiting for her new home to start her new life.

Alba est une magnifique jeune chatte d’environ 1 an, au regard curieux et à l’énergie débordante. C’est une minette très dynamique et joueuse. Malgré son énergie, Alba est aussi très câline et apprécie les moments de tendresse une fois la séance de jeu terminée. On évitera les enfants en bas âge car Alba ne maitrise pas toujours sa force et son énergie. ✨ Alba n’attend plus que son foyer pour commencer sa nouvelle vie.🐾

About ALBA

What life with ALBA looks like

ALBA is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 ALBA, answered.

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