Adopt GAIA

Female · Adult · 7 years

GAIA was directly abandoned at our shelter. Today, she still remains on hold: she doesn't trust humans and prefers to keep her distance. GAIA is FIV+, which doesn't prevent her from living a beautiful life. She will need to join a household with another FIV+ cat, spayed or neutered, and vaccinated, for her well-being and safety. We are looking for a quiet environment, without young children, in an apartment. The presence of a fellow animal of the same species, well settled, could help her settle in more easily. If you have a heart full of tenderness and time to offer, with no expectations from her. Come meet Bricette. She is waiting for a kind look to begin, at her own pace, a new life.

Gaia a été abandonnée directement au refuge. Aujourd’hui, elle reste encore sur la réserve : elle n’a pas confiance en l’humain et préfère garder ses distances. Gaia est FIV+, ce qui ne l’empêche pas de vivre une belle vie. Elle devra rejoindre un foyer avec un autre chat FIV+, stérilisé et vacciné, pour son bien-être et sa sécurité. Nous lui cherchons un environnement calme, sans jeunes enfants, en appartement. La présence d’un congénère bien dans ses pattounes pourrait l’aider à prendre ses marques plus facilement. Si vous avez un cœur plein de tendresse, du temps à lui offrir, aucune attente de sa part. Venez rencontrer Bricette. Elle n’attend qu’un regard bienveillant pour commencer, à son rythme, une nouvelle vie.

About GAIA

What life with GAIA looks like

GAIA is a adult cat waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

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 GAIA, answered.

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