FRANKIE

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

FRANKIE arrived at our shelter with her two kittens. The longer the time passes, the more FRANKIE withdraws into herself, and her chances of finding a family diminish little by little. Today, we are urgently seeking a foster or adoptive family to help socialize her and find her a home as quickly as possible. FRANKIE is a rather shy kitten that we are currently able to approach gently. She accepts being touched with poles (toys) and does not show much aggression. FRANKIE is looking for a gentle, patient, and safe home where she can evolve with confidence. The shelter will support you in taking care of this lovely kitten and provide everything necessary for her arrival. The shelter can also cover the food and veterinary expenses in the context of a foster family.

Frankie – 3ans, Frankie est arrivée au refuge avec ses deux petites. Plus le temps passe et plus Frankie se renferme sur elle-même et ses chances de trouver un jour une famille s’éloignent petit à petit. Aujourd’hui, nous cherchons rapidement une famille d’accueil ou d’adoption pour elle afin de la sociabiliser et de lui permettre de trouver au plus vite un foyer. Frankie est une minette plutôt timide que nous arrivons, pour le moment, à approcher doucement. Elle accepte d’être touchée avec les perches (jeux) et ne montre pas vraiment d’agressivité. Frankie cherche un foyer doux, patient et sécurisant afin qu’elle puisse évoluer en toute confiance. Le refuge vous accompagne dans la prise en charge de cette jolie minette et vous fournit tout le nécessaire pour son accueil. Frankie est arrivée au refuge avec ses deux petites.

About FRANKIE

What life with FRANKIE looks like

FRANKIE is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 FRANKIE, answered.

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