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 · 2 months

Ivy 🍼 Age: 2 months ♀️ Sex: Female 🐾 European Ticked 📖 Her story: Ivy was found alone on the road at only 1.5 months old. Collected by an individual, she then joined the association and has been growing up in a foster family. 🤍 🧠 Her character: Ivy is still a little baby: adorable, playful, curious... and with her little suckling reflex when she seeks comfort. 🥹 She is a big player who spends her time running, exploring and having fun! She naturally remains wary of what she doesn't know and likes to observe before taking the plunge... but her curiosity usually wins out in the end. 😅 🐱 Her great love? Cats! Ivy seeks their presence a lot: games, cuddles, naps... She is very well coded and would be a great friend for a sociable and playful cat. ❤️ 🐶 She currently lives with dogs but remains very fearful of them. Even if she knows they don't mean her any harm, she much prefers to stay with her feline friends. A home without dogs will therefore be preferred. 💕 Ivy is looking for a gentle and patient family, who will respect her rhythm and offer her a nice life... ideally with a feline friend with whom to share her future adventures! 🐱🐾

☀️ À l’adoption ☀️ 🐱 Nom : Ivy 🍼 Âge : 2 mois ♀️ Sexe : Femelle 🐾 Européenne tigrée 📖 Son histoire : Ivy a été trouvée seule sur la route à seulement 1 mois et demi. Recueillie par un particulier, elle a ensuite rejoint l’association et grandit depuis en famille d’accueil. 🤍 🧠 Son caractère : Ivy, c’est encore un petit bébé : adorable, joueuse, curieuse… et avec son petit réflexe de téter quand elle cherche du réconfort. 🥹 C’est une grande joueuse qui passe son temps à courir, explorer et s’amuser ! Elle reste naturellement méfiante avec ce qu’elle ne connaît pas et aime observer avant de se lancer… mais sa curiosité finit généralement par l’emporter. 😅 🐱 Son grand amour ? Les chats ! Ivy recherche énormément leur présence : jeux, câlins, siestes… Elle est très bien codée et serait une super copine pour un chat sociable et joueur. ❤️ 🐶 Elle vit actuellement avec des chiens mais en reste très craintive. Même si elle sait qu’ils ne lui veulent aucun mal, elle préfère largement rester auprès de ses copains félins. Un foyer sans chien sera donc privilégié. 💕 Ivy recherche une famille douce et patiente, qui respectera son rythme et lui offrira une jolie vie… idéalement avec un copain chat avec qui partager ses futures aventures ! 🐱🐾

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.
