LIHANE

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Lihane (or Lili) is a young female over 2 years old with a soft tortoiseshell coat. Coming from Martinique where she was found in a residence, Lihane has brought back the beautiful warm sunshine color of her island in the tender iris of her eyes. With a calm temperament, Lihane is gentle and sweet. She won't hesitate to come back for caresses (and her food!). Easy-going, Lihane doesn't make trouble, she can be alone during the day but still needs attention. She will ask for your attention when you return (and her food!). Close to humans, this small breed will need time and gentleness to fully let herself be tamed. She is very timid at first and gets stressed quickly in her carrier. She will need to be reassured and feel safe in her future home (she likes to take long naps in a high piece of furniture away from prying eyes).

FR·Show original

Lihane (ou Lili) est une jeune demoiselle d'un peu plus de 2 ans au pelage tout doux écaille de tortue. Arrivant de Martinique où elle a été trouvée dans une résidence, Lihane n'a pas oublié de rapporter avec elle la belle couleur du soleil chaud de son île dans le tendre iris de son regard. D’un tempérament calme, Lihane est tendre et douce. Elle n'hésitera pas à venir reclamer des carresses (et sa pâtée !). Facile à vivre, Lihane ne fait pas betise, elle peut rester seule durant la journée mais à tout de même besoin de présence. Elle réclamera votre attention au retour (et sa pâtée !). Proche de l'humain, ce petit gabarit aura besoin de temps et de douceur pour se laisser pleinement apprivoiser. Elle est au départ très craintive et stresse très vite dans son sac de transport. Elle aura donc besoin d'être rassurée et de se sentir en sécurité dans son futur foyer (elle aime faire de longues siestes dans un meuble en hauteur à l'abri des regards). Lih

About LIHANE

What life with LIHANE looks like

LIHANE is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Gamelles Sans Frontière in Île-de-France.

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.

🇫🇷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 LIHANE, answered.

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