ALIA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Alia came from another shelter, and unfortunately, we don’t know anything about her past. This change of life is still difficult for her, and today she appears lost and fearful in her new environment. She’ll need time, patience, and lots of gentleness to find her bearings again and learn to trust. In a calm and reassuring home, Alia will be able to gradually settle in and reveal her true personality. Like many sensitive cats, it’ll be important to respect her pace and avoid rushing her. With kindness and understanding, she’ll be able to fully thrive.

FR·Show original

Alia est arrivée d’une autre fourrière, et nous ne connaissons malheureusement pas son passé. Ce changement de vie est encore difficile pour elle, et elle se montre aujourd’hui perdue et craintive dans son nouvel environnement. Elle aura besoin de temps, de patience et de beaucoup de douceur pour retrouver ses repères et apprendre à faire confiance. Dans un foyer calme et rassurant, Alia pourra évoluer progressivement et révéler sa véritable personnalité. Comme beaucoup de chats sensibles, il sera important de respecter son rythme et de ne pas la brusquer. Avec de la bienveillance, elle pourra s’épanouir pleinement.

About ALIA

What life with ALIA looks like

ALIA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

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 ALIA, answered.

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