How do I contact the shelter about Lilou?

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

Can I adopt Lilou if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Loire Atlantique 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 Lilou already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs 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 Lilou 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 de Loire Atlantique early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lilou 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.

Lilou

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Home Lilou, female, born in April 2018 Category: Adopted DescriptionAdditional information Lilou is a tiny kitten with an extremely sensitive nature, for whom the human world remains a great mystery. Marked by intense fear, she is particularly reserved and, for now, still doesn't let anyone approach her. She spends most of her time observing from afar, carefully ensuring that no danger threatens her. Lilou isn't a "difficult" cat—she's simply a fearful cat who needs to relearn, at her own pace, that a human hand can be synonymous with gentleness. She'll need very patient and experienced adopters who are ready to provide her with a calm and secure environment, without expecting anything from her in the initial stages. With perseverance and lots of love, Lilou will eventually understand that she is finally safe and protected. Placement in a home setting.

Accueil Lilou Femelle, née en avril 2018 Catégorie : Adoptés DescriptionInformations complémentaires Lilou est une petite minette à la sensibilité extrême, pour qui le monde des humains reste encore un grand mystère. Marquée par une très grande crainte, elle se montre particulièrement sur la réserve et, pour le moment, elle ne se laisse pas encore approcher. Elle passe l'essentiel de son temps à observer de loin, cherchant à s'assurer qu'aucun danger ne la menace. Lilou n'est pas une chatte "difficile", c'est une chatte qui a peur et qui a besoin de réapprendre, à son propre rythme, que la main de l'homme peut être synonyme de douceur. Elle aura besoin d'adoptants très patients et expérimentés, prêts à lui offrir un environnement calme et sécurisant sans rien attendre d'elle dans les premiers temps. Avec de la persévérance et beaucoup d'amour, Lilou finira par comprendre qu'elle est enfin à l'abri. Placement maison.

About Lilou

What life with Lilou looks like

Lilou is a extra-large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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.
