Curie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Curie is a lovely female cat, just 1 year old, rescued with her 5 kittens from an underground garage in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, rue Joliot-Curie. This large family (of scientists!) was then split between 2 families to allow her to be properly cared for and socialized. Curie, the mother, estimated to be less than a year old, is still a timid female who will appreciate some play or cuddle sessions (with a feather duster). She will need a gentle family that will take the time to help her (re)discover the pleasure of living with humans. Curie is gradually rejecting her kittens (which is normal) but still has a strong preference for her daughter Hopper, with whom she enjoys sleeping or taking some tender breaks. Curie is in foster care with 3 of her kittens: Hubble, Hopper, and Rubin. All four are cats that are both independent and close to humans. They will need a bit more time to discover the joys of human contact.

Curie est une jolie minette d'à peine 1 an récupérée avec ses 5 petits dans un garage souterrain à Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, rue Joliot-Curie. Cette grande famille (de scientifiques !) a ensuite été répartie dans 2 familles pour lui permettre d'être correctement soignée et sociabilisée. Curie, la maman, estimée à moins d'un an, est une femelle encore craintive qui appréciera tout de même quelques séances de jeux ou de câlins (avec le plumeau). Elle nécessitera une famille douce qui prendra le temps de lui faire (re)découvrir le plaisir de vivre avec l'être humain. Curie rejette progressivement ses petits (ce qui est normal) mais garde tout de même une grande préférence pour sa fille Hopper avec qui elle appréciera dormir ou faire quelques pauses tendresses. Curie est en accueil avec 3 de ses petits : Hubble, Hopper et Rubin. Ils sont tous les quatre des chats à la fois indépendants et proches de l'humain. Il faudra leur laisser encore un peu de temps pour découvrir les joies du contact. Cur

About Curie

What life with Curie looks like

Curie is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Association EACPV — Entraide Amis des Chats et des Pigeons des Villes in France.

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 Curie, answered.

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