CHOUPIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

CHOUPIE is a young European black cat about 1 year old, gentle, calm, and very affectionate. She had a life outdoors before being taken in, and despite her difficult past, she retains an extremely gentle and endearing temperament. CHOUPIE suffers from a mild tail-chasing syndrome that results in a small degree of fecal incontinence. This simply requires a kind environment and a family willing to give her a bit of extra attention daily, with a specific diet to help her go to the bathroom. She is a peaceful, affectionate, and human-friendly kitten who adores tender moments and tranquility. She deserves, finally, the security, the warmth of a home, and love for life. We are looking for a gentle and patient family for CHOUPIE, ready to open their hearts to her despite her small difference. She will return to you a hundredfold all the tenderness she has to give.

Choupie est une jeune chatte européenne noire d’environ 1 an, douce, calme et très câline. Elle a connu la vie dehors avant d’être prise en charge, et malgré son passé difficile, elle garde un caractère extrêmement gentil et attachant. Choupie souffre d’un léger syndrome de la queue de cheval qui entraîne une petite incontinence fécale. Cela demande simplement un environnement bienveillant et une famille prête à lui offrir un peu d’attention supplémentaire au quotidien, avec une alimentation spécifique pour l'aider à aller à la selle. C’est une minette paisible, affectueuse et proche de l’humain, qui adore les moments de tendresse et la tranquillité. Elle mérite enfin de connaître la sécurité, la chaleur d’un foyer et l’amour pour la vie. Nous recherchons pour Choupie une famille douce et patiente, prête à lui ouvrir son cœur malgré sa petite différence. Elle vous rendra au centuple toute la tendresse qu’elle a à donner.

About CHOUPIE

What life with CHOUPIE looks like

CHOUPIE is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Vichy (Brugheas) in Vichy.

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 CHOUPIE, answered.

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