Dryade

Mixed Breed · Unknown

A tricolor kitten born in 2015, a victim of a sliding window, has just arrived at the shelter. This is a reminder that our homes are full of dangers for our cats. Sliding windows are the most dangerous, causing falls, amputations, paralysis, and even death. We no longer count the number of victims related to these windows. So when you have a cat, even under supervision, do not use this feature; just a few seconds are enough. Toilets are also a high-risk area. Get into the habit of closing the toilet lid and the door, every year dozens of cats die drowned in the toilets because they wanted to drink. Dryade is a shy but not aggressive cat at all; she is gradually learning to trust us. Apart from a small part of her tail missing, she is in excellent health. Her personality leads us to think that she would prefer to keep her life as a free and independent cat within our sanctuary rather than being in a home. She is therefore available for sponsorship!

Victime d’une fenêtre oscillo-battante, cette petite chatte tricolore née en 2015 vient d’arriver au refuge. L’occasion de rappeler que nos maisons regorgent de pièges pour nos chats. Les fenêtres oscillo-battantes sont les plus redoutables, pendaisons, amputations, paralysies, décès… On ne compte plus les victimes liées à ces fenêtres. Alors quand on a un chat et même sous surveillance, on n’utilise pas cette fonction, quelques secondes suffisent. Les WC aussi sont une zone de grand danger. Prenez l’habitude de fermer la cuvette et la porte des WC, chaque année des dizaines de chats meurent noyés dans les cuvettes pour avoir voulu y boire. Dryade est une chatte craintive mais pas agressive du tout, elle apprend petit à petit à nous faire confiance. En dehors de son morceau de queue en moins, elle est en excellente santé. Son tempérament nous laisse à penser qu’elle préfèrera conserver sa vie de chatte libre et indépendante au sein de notre sanctuaire plutôt que d’être dans un foyer. Elle est donc à parrainer !

About Dryade

What life with Dryade looks like

Dryade is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at AdopteUnChat.org in Châteauneuf-du-Faou.

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 Dryade, answered.

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