Gaïa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Gaia arrived at our shelter after the passing of her owner. She is a rather timid and aloof cat, but once she trusts you, she reveals her cute side despite her small personality; she will let you know that she doesn't want cuddles and prefers to be left alone. She tolerates other cats, but we are looking for a family where she can be the only princess of the household. She cannot live with dogs or young children. An outdoor space will be necessary for her well-being. If you think you're a good match for Gaia, please come meet her at the shelter.

FR·Show original

Gaia est arrivée chez nous suite au décès de son propriétaire. C'est une chatte plutôt craintive et farouche mais qui une fois en confiance se révèle mignonne malgré son petit caractère ; elle saura vous faire comprendre qu'elle ne veut pas de caresses et qu'elle préfère être tranquille. Elle tolère ses congénères mais nous recherchons une famille ou elle pourra être la seule princesse du foyer. Elle ne pourra pas vivre avec des chiens ni avec de jeunes enfants. Un extérieur sera nécessaire pour son bien-être. Si vous pensez correspondre au profil de Gaia, n'hésitez pas à venir la rencontrer au refuge.

About Gaïa

What life with Gaïa looks like

Gaïa is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Draguignan (Flayosc) in Draguignan.

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 Gaïa, answered.

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