HAVANA

Female · Adult · 5 years

Havana was abandoned because her owner was overwhelmed by too many animals. She lived in deplorable hygiene conditions. She is discreet and a bit shy but very sweet!

About HAVANA

What life with HAVANA looks like

HAVANA is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

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 HAVANA, answered.

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