How do I contact the shelter about Ilara?

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 Ilara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ilara 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 Ilara 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 Ilara 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 Ilara 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.

Ilara

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Ilara Female Born in April 2013 European Description Description Ilara is a lovely 12-year-old cat, gentle, talkative and very affectionate. She loves human company and is looking for a home where she won't be alone for too long, as she needs attention and contact to thrive. Vets have discovered that she suffers from liver cancer, a disease that gives her little relief. She sometimes vomits, she gets tired quickly... But she is fighting and we are testing treatments to help her. Always ready to chat, she communicates a lot with us, whether to ask for cuddles, attention or simply to say hello. She will perfectly suit a person who is present, who wants a close and affectionate companion. Ilara is part of the "30 Millions d'Amis" program dedicated to senior cats, which facilitates their adoption. A beautiful opportunity to open your heart to a cat still full of love and life. Placement in a house or apartment larger than 80m2. Additional information Arrival date at the shelter: April 2025Identification: 250269802191093 Agreements Other cats: To testDogs: To testChildren:

About Ilara

What life with Ilara looks like

Ilara 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.
