GRISETTE

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Grisette – 3 years old, arrived at the shelter in May 2026 along with her two kittens. This lovely little cat has been through many changes. Today, her kittens are growing up, and it’s time for her to find the home she truly deserves as well. Naturally shy and rather independent, she prefers to take her time before trusting others. Yet behind this reserved demeanor lies an adorable little cat who loves tender moments and doesn’t hesitate to come and ask for a few strokes when she feels comfortable. Calm and endearing, she’s looking for a gentle and patient family—one that’s willing to respect her pace and give her the time she needs to fully blossom. In return, she’ll bring beautiful moments of closeness and companionship to those who open their hearts to her. This sweet mom will need a calm environment as well as access to the outdoors to be truly happy. After caring for her kittens with great courage, it’s now time for her to think about her own happiness and finally find her forever family.

About GRISETTE

What life with GRISETTE looks like

GRISETTE is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 GRISETTE, answered.

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