Lila

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

Sponsorship: Here is Lila, a 13-year-old cat. Found on the street and taken in in 2013, Lila is now living peacefully in her foster family. She can no longer be adopted due to her health issues, but you can help her live happily through sponsorship. Lila suffers from heart thickening and must follow a lifelong treatment. Her medication costs 36 € per month, or 432 € per year. By sponsoring her, you directly contribute to her care and daily comfort. Every donation, even a small one, makes a real difference for her. Lila is a charming little cat: affectionate, gentle, intelligent... She loves gentle pats on the back, watching birds in the sun and falling asleep to relaxing music. Her favorite ritual? Climbing onto your chest to lick your nose (or play with your glasses 😄). And if you look closely, she has an adorable little mole on her pale pink nose. Thanks to your sponsorship, Lila continues to receive care, love and peace, everything an old cat needs. We count on you!

En la parrainant, vous participez directement à ses soins et à son confort au quotidien. Chaque don, même petit, fait une réelle différence pour elle. Lila est une minette pleine de charme : câline, douce, intelligente… Elle adore les petites tapes sur le dos, observer les oiseaux au soleil et s’endormir sur une musique relaxante. Son rituel préféré ? Monter sur votre poitrine pour vous lécher le nez (ou jouer avec vos lunettes 😄). Et si vous regardez bien, elle porte un adorable petit grain de beauté sur son museau rose pâle Grâce à votre parrainage, Lila continue à recevoir soins, amour et tranquillité, tout ce dont une chatte âgée a besoin. Nous comptons sur vous ! 🐈

About Lila

What life with Lila looks like

Lila is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 in Paris.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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 Lila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lila?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lila if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Lila 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 Lila 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lila 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.
