Adopt GAZELLE

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Our grandmother GAZELLE was not born under a lucky star. She did not experience stability or feel the sense of security where she should have been able to flourish. GAZELLE is 12 years old, and it's high time we remedied that and did everything to offer her a retirement basket. She is gentle and pleasant to live with. She appreciates her comfort and wouldn't say no to a spot on the couch or snuggling by a window to bask in the sun. GAZELLE is part of the SOS Adoption program due to her age. A blood test has been conducted and did not reveal any health issues.

About GAZELLE

What life with GAZELLE looks like

GAZELLE is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Cherbourg (Cotentin) in Cherbourg.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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 GAZELLE, answered.

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