How do I contact the shelter about Canelle?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Refuge pour chats La Chaux-de-Fonds handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Canelle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Canelle if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Refuge pour chats La Chaux-de-Fonds 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 Canelle 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 Canelle 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 Refuge pour chats La Chaux-de-Fonds early rather than rehoming privately; they know Canelle and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Canelle

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Canelle is a lovely female cat, estimated to be 3 years old, who arrived at the shelter after being found wandering. She was adopted but unfortunately returned a few months later. The reason? Canelle is a true little adventurer! She loves being outside and spends a lot of time exploring her surroundings. We are looking for a family who can provide her with access to the outdoors, so she can fully enjoy what she loves. Canelle is an adorable female cat, very affectionate, sociable and easy to live with. She enjoys human interaction and will surely melt her future family. An important consideration, however, is that Canelle is a carrier of asymptomatic golden staphylococcus. She is asymptomatic, but as a precaution, it is preferable that there are no other animals in the household and it is not recommended that she be adopted by someone with a weakened immune system. Canelle is now waiting for a family who will respect her need for freedom while giving her all the love and cuddles she deserves. If you think you can be this family, please do not hesitate to contact us, either by phone at 24 or by email at Date of birth: 01.01.2023 - 3 years (estimated) Tests (FIV, FELV, Leukemia): Weight missing Date of arrival at the shelter: 10.09.2026

About Canelle

What life with Canelle looks like

Canelle is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Refuge pour chats La Chaux-de-Fonds in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
