How do I contact the shelter about Ivy?

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

Can I adopt Ivy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Thalya Protection 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 Ivy 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 Ivy 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 Association Thalya Protection early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ivy 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.

Ivy

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 1 month

Ivy was found alone on the street one evening by a gentleman who immediately contacted us to help her. We took care of this little puppy without delay to provide her with a safe environment and everything she needed. 🧠 Character: Ivy is an adorable little puppy still timid, but she is progressing every day since her arrival. 🥹 Very playful and full of life, she is slowly gaining confidence. Once she is caught, she easily lets herself be petted and is adorable. With her cute little face, Ivy just wants to be reassured and discover the happiness of having a family. 💕 Her needs: Ivy will need a gentle, patient and affectionate family who will respect her pace and give her time to gain confidence. She will need gentleness, presence and a lot of affection to learn that she is now safe. With time and love, Ivy can reveal all the little ball of tenderness and mischief that hides behind her shyness. 🐾 Compatibility: 🐶 Dogs: To be tested 🐱 Cats: Ok 👧 Children: To be tested

About Ivy

What life with Ivy looks like

Ivy is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Association Thalya Protection in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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.
