Adopt ANNETTE

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

ANNETTE is a lovely, gentle and sweet little cat but she remains shy. You will need to give her time before she gains confidence. Curious, she will observe you from a distance at first, and once she feels safe, she will start to reveal herself. In particular, she is an excellent player. Everything goes: ball, mouse, piece of paper! To help her gain confidence and to allow her to thrive, the presence of a cat who is comfortable in her own skin and enjoys sharing her environment with a fellow animal of the same species will be essential. Outdoor access (once she has gained confidence) will be a plus. A caring, calm, loving, gentle and patient home will allow ANNETTE to reveal herself, find peace and thrive.

Annette est une jolie minette douce et gentille mais elle reste timide. Il faudra lui laisser du temps avant qu'elle prenne confiance. Curieuse, elle vous observera de loin dans un premier temps, et une fois qu'elle se sentira en sécurité, elle commencera à se révéler. Notamment, c’est une joueuse hors pair. Tout y passe : balle , souris, bout de papier ! Pour l'aider à prendre confiance et pour qu'elle puisse s'épanouir pleinement, la présence d'un chat bien dans ses pattounes et appréciant partager son environnement avec un congénère sera essentiel. Un accès en extérieur (une fois qu'elle aura confiance) sera un plus. Un foyer bienveillant, zen, aimant, doux et patient permettra à Annette de se révéler, de trouver la sérénité et de s'épanouir.

About ANNETTE

What life with ANNETTE looks like

ANNETTE is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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 ANNETTE, answered.

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