Écureuil

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Squirrel is a 4-year-old cat who has already dedicated a significant part of her life to being a mother. She was given to us by her owner just after she had given birth to 6 kittens. What a mother she is... Sweet, attentive, and incredibly patient, she took care of her whole little tribe like a true champion. But now it's her turn to be chosen. Squirrel is a real love of a cat. A small, affectionate kitten who loves to come for cuddles, settle on your lap, and simply enjoy the presence of her humans. And if there is a foolproof way to win her heart... treats. Squirrel loves them and will certainly not hesitate to come and ask for them. She also seems very interested in what's happening outside: a home with the possibility of enjoying the outdoors in complete safety would be a real plus for her. Her babies will soon be able to write their own story. So now, we would love for Squirrel to finally write hers. After being an exemplary mother, she deserves to become, simply, someone's baby. She can join her new family alone, but it is also possible to adopt her with one of her kittens for those who would like to let mom and baby continue the adventure together. Squirrel is now looking for her tree for life. A place to rest her little paws, give her cuddles, squat on a few laps... and never have to leave again. And if her tree is your home?

À seulement 4 ans, Écureuil a déjà consacré une jolie partie de sa vie à être maman. Elle nous a été cédée par son propriétaire alors qu’elle venait tout juste de donner naissance à 6 petits chatons. Et quelle maman… Douce, attentive et incroyablement patiente, elle s’est occupée de toute sa petite tribu comme une véritable championne. Mais aujourd’hui, c’est à son tour d’être choisie. Écureuil est un véritable amour de chat. Une petite minette au petit gabarit, extrêmement affectueuse, qui adore venir chercher les câlins, s’installer sur les genoux et profiter simplement de la présence de ses humains. Et s’il existe un moyen infaillible de gagner son cœur… les friandises. Écureuil en raffole et ne se fera certainement pas prier pour venir les réclamer. Elle semble également très intéressée par ce qui se passe dehors : un foyer avec la possibilité de profiter de l’extérieur en toute sécurité serait donc un vrai plus pour elle. Ses bébés vont bientôt pouvoir écrire leur propre histoire.Alors maintenant, nous aimerions tellement qu’Écureuil puisse enfin écrire la sienne. Après avoir été une maman exemplaire, elle mérite de devenir, tout simplement, le bébé de quelqu’un. Elle pourra rejoindre sa nouvelle famille seule, mais il est également possible de l’adopter avec l’un de ses chatons pour ceux qui auraient envie de laisser maman et bébé poursuivre l’aventure ensemble. Écureuil cherche désormais son arbre pour la vie.Un endroit où poser ses petites pattes, distribuer ses câlins, squatter quelques genoux… et ne plus jamais avoir à repartir. Et si son arbre, c’était chez vous ?

About Écureuil

What life with Écureuil looks like

Écureuil is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Noé Brest in France.

An 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 Écureuil, answered.

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