How do I contact the shelter about Giselle?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Flori handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Giselle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Giselle if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Flori 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Giselle 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 Giselle 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 Flori early rather than rehoming privately; they know Giselle 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 (EN). 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.

Adopt Giselle

Mixed Breed · Female

Giselle’s story is one of unimaginable suffering—and extraordinary resilience. Giselle came to us in early 2021 as our most complex case to date. She had been hit by an HGV lorry and left at the side of the road for six days, suffering in severe pain while the world passed her by. Flori’s Friends found her on a traffic camera Once she was finally safe, it became clear that her injuries were devastating. She had suffered a complete spinal break, and because she had been left for so long, her spine had fused together. On top of this, her front left leg was severed and needed amputation. Giselle was left with only one working leg, and she needed a prosthetic and a custom-made cart to regain her mobility. She underwent a complex amputation of her back legs, as they were no longer functional after the spinal break. After surgery, she began the long journey of recovery with the help of our founder, Natalia. Slowly, she adapted to a four-wheeled wheelchair and began to move again for the first time since the accident. Next came her prosthetic leg, and months of hydrotherapy to strengthen her chest and build the muscles she would need. This was all to prepare her for the next milestone—transitioning to a two-wheeled cart so she could experience as much freedom and mobility as possible. After months of relentless care and determination, Giselle achieved something incredible. She successfully transitioned to a two-wheeled cart and is now living her best life at the rescue. She is the fastest dog in the rescue, bounding through the countryside for hours every day, full of joy and spirit. But Giselle’s needs are complex. She is incontinent and requires high-level care to keep her healthy and happy. Because of this, she will remain with Flori’s Friends for life. By sponsoring Giselle, you can help ensure she continues to receive the intensive care she needs to thrive—so she can keep living the life she fought so hard to get back. Giselle’s annual care includes: Shoulder and below X-rays to monitor for osteoarthritis from using a prosthesis Regular urine testing to check bladder health Giselle has already survived the worst of humanity. Now she deserves the very best of love.

About Giselle

What life with Giselle looks like

Giselle is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Flori in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
