Alberville

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Je suis arrivée à l’association quand j’étais encore un chaton… mais j’étais très craintive 💔 Le monde me faisait peur, et faire confiance n’était pas facile pour moi. Avec beaucoup de temps, de patience et de travail de socialisation, j’ai énormément évolué 💛 Aujourd’hui, je suis prête à trouver ma famille… mais une famille qui saura me comprendre. 🐱 Je suis ok chats, et la présence d’un chat déjà câlin et sociable pourrait beaucoup m’aider à progresser et à prendre confiance. Je reste une chatte sensible, qui a besoin de temps pour s’ouvrir. Il faudra me laisser venir à mon rythme, sans me brusquer, et accepter qui je suis, avec ma douceur et mes petites peurs. 💛 Ce qu’il me faudrait ? Une personne patiente, calme, bienveillante, prête à m’accompagner sans attente immédiate, et à me laisser devenir la chatte que je suis vraiment. Je ne serai peut-être pas la plus démonstrative dès le début… mais avec du temps, je saurai créer un lien unique et sincère. ✨ Avec moi, tout se construit doucement… mais pour de vrai.

About Alberville

What life with Alberville looks like

Alberville is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Association Quatre Pattes, Un Toit in Saint-Sauveur.

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 Alberville, answered.

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