Gabrielle

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Identified by electronic microchip Type: European Color: Gray ticked tabby - Coat: short spayed FIV (AIDS) - FELV (Leukemia) negative Vaccinated against typhus and cat flu Health: All clear At the shelter I am Gabrielle, a young female cat who lived with a dozen other cats and a bunch of kittens in the garden of a kind lady. With my gray agouti coat and my twin sister Iona, we never go unnoticed when we're spotted in the cattery. But... trust in bipeds is not yet my strong suit. I am not aggressive at all. I simply prefer to keep my distance and disappear like a little puff of smoke the moment someone gets too close for my comfort. It will take a lot of patience for me to let a human get closer. Maybe one day, if I feel truly safe, I will let you run your fingers gently over my pretty coat. Who knows, anything can happen with kindness and respect. Find Gabrielle on the shelter's Facebook page.

Identifiée par puce électronique Type : Européen Couleur : Gris ticked tabby - Pelage : court Stérilisée Test FIV (Sida) - FELV (Leucose) négatif Vaccinée Typhus et Coryza Santé : Tout va bien Au refuge Je suis Gabrielle, une jeune minette qui vivait avec une dizaine d’autres chats et une ribambelle de chatons dans le jardin d’une gentille dame. Avec mon pelage agouti gris et ma sœur jumelle Iona, on ne passe jamais inaperçues quand on nous aperçoit dans la chatterie. Lire plus... Mais… la confiance en les bipèdes, ce n’est pas encore mon fort. Je n’ai aucune agressivité, jamais. Je préfère simplement garder mes distances et disparaître comme une petite fumée dès que quelqu’un s’approche un peu trop près à mon goût. Il faudra beaucoup de patience pour que je laisse un humain se rapprocher. Peut‑être qu’un jour, si je me sens vraiment en sécurité, je vous laisserai effleurer mon joli pelage du bout des doigts. Qui sait, tout peut arriver avec douceur et respect. Retrouvez Gabrielle sur la page Facebook du refuge.

About Gabrielle

What life with Gabrielle looks like

Gabrielle is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Le Regroupement Des Chats Perdus 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 Gabrielle, answered.

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