How do I contact the shelter about Canelle?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Valais 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 Valais 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 Valais early rather than rehoming privately; they know Canelle 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.

Canelle

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 13 years

This pretty tiger-striped cat is looking for a new family. She arrived with the arrival of a child in her previous home, a situation she struggled to cope with. Since then, she has become stressed and unkempt. She is a calm, quiet, and rather solitary cat, though still friendly with humans. She prefers a peaceful environment, far from stress and excitement. She has always lived in an apartment, a lifestyle that suits her perfectly. Regular nail trimming will be necessary, as she can develop ingrown nails if her claws do not wear down sufficiently on a cat tree. We are looking for a gentle and attentive family for her. An apartment with a secure balcony, or without a balcony, will be required. 📞 For any additional information or if you are interested, please contact us only by phone at 02. ❗ Please do not contact us by message, email, or social media.

Cette jolie chatte tigrée recherche une nouvelle famille. Elle est arrivée chez nous suite à l’arrivée d’un enfant dans son ancien foyer, une situation qu’elle a eu du mal à supporter. Depuis, elle est devenue stressée et malpropre. C’est une chatte calme, tranquille et plutôt solitaire, tout en restant sociable avec les humains. Elle apprécie avant tout un environnement paisible, loin du stress et de l’agitation. Elle a toujours vécu en appartement, un mode de vie qui lui convient parfaitement. Un contrôle régulier de ses griffes sera toutefois nécessaire, car elle peut développer des griffes incarnées si elles ne s’usent pas suffisamment sur un arbre à chat. Nous recherchons pour elle une famille douce et attentionnée. Un appartement avec balcon sécurisé, ou sans balcon, sera demandé. 📞 Pour toute information complémentaire ou en cas d’intérêt, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02. ❗ Merci de ne pas nous contacter par message, e-mail ou réseaux sociaux.

About Canelle

What life with Canelle looks like

Canelle is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇨🇭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.
