ALOHA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Aloha has just arrived at the shelter after a requisition and is still discovering her new environment. Everything is new to her and she remains very wary for now. She is a small, very timid cat who still needs time to understand that she is now safe. Her rhythm must be respected, she should not be rushed, and a calm and reassuring environment should be provided. Unfortunately, Aloha has not had much luck before her arrival. Her ears have been severely damaged, a consequence of a problem that was not addressed and care that was lacking. Despite the visible sequelae, she deserves today to be able to start anew and discover a sweeter life. With patience, gentleness, and a lot of kindness, Aloha will be able to gradually gain confidence and learn that she can finally feel safe with humans.

Aloha vient tout juste d’arriver au refuge après une réquisition et découvre encore ce nouvel environnement. Tout est nouveau pour elle et elle reste pour le moment très méfiante. C’est une petite chatte très craintive, qui a encore besoin de temps pour comprendre qu’elle est désormais en sécurité. Il faudra respecter son rythme, ne pas la brusquer et lui offrir un environnement calme et rassurant. Aloha n’a malheureusement pas eu beaucoup de chance avant son arrivée. Ses oreilles ont été fortement abîmées, conséquence d’un problème qui n’a pas été pris en charge et de soins qui ont fait défaut. Malgré les séquelles visibles, elle mérite aujourd’hui de pouvoir repartir sur de bonnes bases et découvrir une vie plus douce. Avec de la patience, de la douceur et beaucoup de bienveillance, Aloha pourra progressivement prendre confiance et apprendre qu’elle peut enfin se sentir en sécurité auprès des humains.

About ALOHA

What life with ALOHA looks like

ALOHA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Sarreguemines in Sarreguemines.

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 ALOHA, answered.

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