How do I contact the shelter about Charlène?

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 Charlène on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Charlène 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 Charlène 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 Charlène 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 Charlène 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.

Charlène

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 11 years

Charlène is a lovely little cat, about 11 years old. She arrived at the shelter after being found wandering alone. Despite numerous announcements posted, no owner has come forward to claim her as of today. 💔 According to current legislation, an owner has a two-month period to reclaim a lost pet. If no one claims her by then, Charlène will be eligible for permanent adoption starting September 18, 2026. ❤️ With a calm and somewhat shy temperament when she doesn't know you yet, Charlène takes her time earning your trust. Once she feels safe and secure, she reveals herself to be a real bundle of love—very gentle and cuddly. 🥰 We’re looking for a patient and caring family who can offer her a peaceful home and the chance to continue enjoying outdoor outings. 🌿 📞 For any information or if you’d like to meet Charlène with the intention of adopting her, please contact us by phone only at 02.

Charlène est une adorable minette d’environ 11 ans. Elle est arrivée au refuge après avoir été trouvée errante. Malgré les annonces diffusées, aucun propriétaire ne s’est manifesté jusqu’à ce jour. 💔 Conformément à la législation en vigueur, un propriétaire dispose d’un délai de deux mois pour réclamer un animal perdu. Sans réclamation d’ici là, Charlène pourra être adoptée définitivement à partir du 18 septembre 2026. ❤️ D’un tempérament calme et un peu timide lorsqu’elle ne connaît pas, Charlène prend le temps d’accorder sa confiance. Une fois en confiance, elle se révèle être une véritable boule d’amour, très douce et câline. 🥰 Nous lui recherchons une famille patiente et bienveillante qui lui offrira un foyer paisible, ainsi que la possibilité de continuer à profiter de sorties en extérieur. 🌿 📞 Pour tout renseignement ou si vous souhaitez rencontrer Charlène en vue d’une adoption, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02.

About Charlène

What life with Charlène looks like

Charlène 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.
