Adopt Croisade

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Croisade Female Born in February 2025 European Description Description Croisade is a little female cat from a withdrawal due to Diogenes syndrome and Noé. Despite a past marked by precarious living conditions, she shows a beautiful spark of resilience. She is a small curious cat who, although still has the reflex to flee from the unknown, is beginning to take an interest in humans. If approached with great gentleness, Croisade will approach to smell the hands, a promising first step towards trust. A new healthy and calm environment will be the key factor in helping her evolve and leave her fears behind. Like her fellow unfortunate companions, she is currently untrained, having never known the use of litter in her former life. For her balance, she must live in pairs with another cat (a shelter buddy or a cat already present in her future home) who will know how to guide and reassure her. Adopting Croisade is offering her the stable environment she has always lacked. Placement in a house or apartment Additional information Arrival date at the shelter: November 2025 Identification: 250268781983120 Agreements Other cats: Yes Dogs: To test Children:

Accueil Croisade Femelle, née en février 2025 Catégorie : Adoptés DescriptionInformations complémentaires Croisade est une minette issue d'un retrait pour syndrome de Diogène et de Noé. Malgré un passé marqué par des conditions de vie précaires, elle montre une belle étincelle de résilience. C'est une petite curieuse qui, bien qu'elle ait encore le réflexe de fuir face à l'inconnu, commence à s'intéresser à l'humain. Si on l'approche avec une grande douceur, Croisade accepte de s'approcher pour venir sentir les mains, un premier pas encourageant vers la confiance. Un nouvel environnement sain et calme sera le facteur clé pour l'aider à évoluer et à laisser ses craintes derrière elle. Comme ses compagnons d'infortune, elle est actuellement malpropre, n'ayant jamais connu l'usage d'une litière dans son ancienne vie. Pour son équilibre, elle devra impérativement vivre en duo avec un autre chat (un copain du refuge ou un chat déjà présent dans son futur foyer) qui saura la guider et la rassurer. Adopter Croisade, c'est lui offrir le cadre stable dont elle a toujours manqué.

About Croisade

What life with Croisade looks like

Croisade is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 Croisade, answered.

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