How do I contact the shelter about Guanja?

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

Can I adopt Guanja if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Loire Atlantique 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 Guanja already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs 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 Guanja 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 de Loire Atlantique early rather than rehoming privately; they know Guanja 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.

Guanja

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

Guanja Female Born in January 2012 European Description Description Guanja is a touching senior cat who benefits from the program of the Foundation 30 Millions d'Amis for seniors. This program is a valuable support for her future adopters, as it allows for the coverage of veterinary costs up to 1000 € to facilitate her medical follow-up. Currently, Guanja is still strongly marked by her arrival at the shelter. She is a shy little cat who is very stressed and tends to run away when approached. She will need a calm environment and a lot of patience to finally feel safe. In terms of health, her age comes with physical weaknesses: she suffers from arthritis as well as associated amyotrophy (muscle wasting related to her joint pain). A warm home, without too complex stairs and with regular medical follow-up, would allow her to age in comfort and dignity. House placement. Additional information Arrival date at the shelter: March 2026 Identification: 250268782144446 Agreements Other cats: No Dogs: To test Children:

Accueil Guanja Femelle, née en janvier 2012 Catégories : chat, sauvetage chat DescriptionInformations complémentaires Guanja est une touchante minette senior qui bénéficie du dispositif de la Fondation 30 Millions d’Amis pour les doyens. Ce programme est un soutien précieux pour ses futurs adoptants, puisqu'il permet une prise en charge des frais vétérinaires à hauteur de 1000 € pour faciliter son suivi médical. Actuellement, Guanja est encore très marquée par son arrivée au refuge. C'est une petite chatte timide qui stresse énormément et a tendance à fuir dès qu'on l'approche. Elle aura besoin d'un environnement calme et de beaucoup de patience pour se sentir enfin en sécurité. Sur le plan de la santé, son âge s'accompagne de fragilités physiques : elle souffre d'arthrose ainsi que d'une amyotrophie associée (une fonte musculaire liée à ses douleurs articulaires). Un foyer chaleureux, sans escaliers trop complexes et avec un suivi médical régulier, lui permettrait de vieillir dans le confort et la dignité. Placement maison.

About Guanja

What life with Guanja looks like

Guanja is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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.
