Esther

Border Collie · Female · Young · 2 years

La belle Esther est arrivée récemment au refuge et s'acclimate à son rythme au refuge. Curieuse et dynamique, cette minette aura besoin d'avoir un accès à l'extérieur après une période d'acclimatation de deux mois en intérieur afin de trouver ses nouveaux repères. Esther a du tempérament et appréciera que l'on respecte ses limites tout comme ses ententes avec les autres chats, elle appréciera être la seule princesse du foyer. Elle n'aime pas la contrainte tout simplement. Si vous avez des questions concernant le profil d'Esther, vous pouvez nous contacter par mail à ou venir au refuge faire sa connaissance accompagné de TOUTES les personnes vivant au domicile

About Esther

What life with Esther looks like

Esther is a young adult border collie cat waiting at SPA Mont-de-Marsan in De Marsan.

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 Esther, answered.

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