Alouette

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Alouette, the quiet bird. At three years old, Alouette has a lovely name that evokes song and lightness. Yet this little cat has not yet dared to "sing" around people: very shy, she keeps her distance and does not let herself be touched. But like the bird that waits for dawn to sing its melody, Alouette could gradually reveal herself with time and much patience. She is FIV+, gets along well with other cats, and will need a calm home without young children where she can live at her own pace and in complete peace. She is not a contact cat today, but she too deserves a warm and secure nest. I am waiting for you at the shelter for a tender meeting. Together, we could form a great team!

Alouette, l'oiseau silencieux À trois ans, Alouette porte un joli nom qui évoque le chant et la légèreté. Pourtant, cette petite chatte n’ose pas encore « chanter » auprès des humains : très craintive, elle garde ses distances et ne se laisse pas toucher. Mais comme l’oiseau qui attend l’aube pour lancer sa mélodie, Alouette pourrait, avec le temps et beaucoup de patience, se dévoiler peu à peu. Elle est FIV+, s’entend bien avec ses congénères et aura besoin d’un foyer calme, sans jeunes enfants, où elle pourra vivre à son rythme et en toute sérénité. Elle n’est pas une chatte de contact aujourd’hui, mais elle mérite, elle aussi, un nid doux et sécurisant. Je vous attends au refuge pour une rencontre pleine de tendresse. Ensemble, on pourrait former une belle équipe ! Race : Européen Date de naissance : 01/03/2022 (estimé) Sexe : Femelle Stérilisé : Oui Identifié : Oui Vacciné : Oui FIV+ Refuge Anim’toit

About Alouette

What life with Alouette looks like

Alouette is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Anim'toit in Prinquiau.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alouette, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alouette?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Anim'toit handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alouette on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alouette if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Anim'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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Alouette 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 Alouette 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 Anim'toit early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alouette 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.
