Adopt Lagertha

Female · Adult · 6 years

Lagertha – 6 years old Lagertha is a 6-year-old kitten currently in the process of socialization. Unfortunately, her early life wasn't easy. She was mistreated by children who dragged her head across the ground, leaving her with facial scars and a certain fear of hands. Despite this, Lagertha is progressing every day. When she feels secure and knows the person, she accepts being approached and shows that she can be a gentle kitten who simply needs time and patience. The presence of another well-adjusted cat could help her gain confidence. For her well-being, Lagertha will need to live in a quiet home without a dog and without young children. An outdoor cat, we don't know her past, but with kindness and patience, she can finally experience the security of a real home. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Lagertha – 6 ans Lagertha est une minette de 6 ans actuellement en cours de sociabilisation. Son début de vie n’a malheureusement pas été facile. Elle a été malmenée par des enfants qui lui ont frotté la tête contre le sol, ce qui lui a laissé des plaies au visage et une certaine peur de la main. Malgré cela, Lagertha progresse chaque jour. Lorsqu’elle se sent en confiance et qu’elle connaît la personne, elle accepte de se laisser approcher et montre qu’elle peut être une minette douce qui a simplement besoin de temps et de patience. La présence d’un autre chat bien dans ses pattes pourrait l’aider à prendre confiance. Pour son bien-être, Lagertha devra vivre dans un foyer calme, sans chien et sans enfants en bas âge. Issue de la rue, nous ne connaissons pas son passé, mais avec de la douceur et de la patience, elle pourra enfin découvrir la sécurité d’un vrai foyer.

About Lagertha

What life with Lagertha looks like

Lagertha is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at SPA Compiègne in Compiègne.

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.

Note from the shelter: Trauma survivor with fear of hands, requires patient socialization

🇫🇷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 Lagertha, answered.

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