Houla Hop

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

Houla hop and our shelter's matriarch. At 14 years old, she is rather calm and reserved. She tends to stay in one corner without venturing out much, but is easily petted. Once the cuddles begin, she starts purring and drooling with joy. She would be happy with a quiet life indoors. She could potentially live with other animals, but they would need to be very calm and not pushy with her. She has a tendency to not always do her business in the litter box, sometimes having little accidents like peeing near it.

Houla hop et notre doyenne du refuge. Du haut de ses 14 ans elle est plutôt calme et réservée. Elle a tendance à rester dans un coin sans trop partir à l'aventure mais se laisse facilement caresser. Une fois les câlins commencés elle se met à ronronner et à baver de joie. Elle se plaira pour une vie au calme en intérieur. Elle pourra éventuellement vivre avec d'autres animaux mais il faudra que ceci soit très calme et non insistant avec elle. Elle a tendance à ne pas faire la totalité de ses besoins dans la litière il y a parfois des petits accidents comme des pipis à proximité de cette dernière.

About Houla Hop

What life with Houla Hop looks like

Houla Hop is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Beaurepaire-en-Bresse in Beaurepaire.

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 Houla Hop, answered.

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