CHATAIGNE 2

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Currently in Foster Care Chataîgne was abandoned at the shelter because her owners could no longer care for her. She is a very fearful and distant cat, in the process of socialization. She is in SOS because she is positive for feline AIDS (FIV). She is looking for experienced adopters with knowledge of cat socialization. She will need to be given the patience and time necessary for her to learn to trust humans. She will not be placed with children or dogs that could scare her. The presence of another cat that is well-adjusted could be a plus, provided it is also FIV positive. Do not hesitate to contact an agent if her profile interests you!

ACTUELLEMENT EN FAMILLE RELAIS Chataîgne a été abandonnée au refuge car ses propriétaires ne pouvaient plus s'en occuper. C'est une minette très craintive et distante, en cours de sociabilisation. Elle est en SOS car positive au sida du chat (FIV). Elle recherche des adoptants expérimentés avec des connaissances quant à la sociabilisation chez le chat. Il faudra lui accorder la patience et le temps nécessaire pour qu'elle apprenne à faire confiance aux humains. Elle ne sera pas placée avec des enfants ni avec des chiens qui risqueraient de l'effrayer. La présence d'un autre chat bien dans ses pattes pourra être un plus, à condition qu'il soit positif au FIV. N'hésitez pas à vous rapprocher d'un.e agent.e si son profil vous intéresse !

About CHATAIGNE 2

What life with CHATAIGNE 2 looks like

CHATAIGNE 2 is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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 CHATAIGNE 2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CHATAIGNE 2?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Rennes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw CHATAIGNE 2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt CHATAIGNE 2 if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Rennes 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 CHATAIGNE 2 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 CHATAIGNE 2 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 Rennes early rather than rehoming privately; they know CHATAIGNE 2 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.
