Adopt Louisa

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Louisa arrived at the shelter because her owners moved abroad and unfortunately couldn't take her with them. She is a rather shy cat who will need some time to feel secure. She gets along well with other cats but is afraid of dogs. Louisa has always lived indoors and will be comfortable in a quiet and safe environment. She is looking for a patient and kind home that can offer her gentleness, stability, and affection, so she can thrive in peace.

Louisa est arrivée au refuge car ses propriétaires sont partis vivre à l’étranger et ne pouvaient malheureusement pas l’emmener avec eux. C’est une chatte de nature assez timide, qui aura besoin d’un peu de temps pour se sentir en confiance. Elle s’entend bien avec les autres chats, mais a peur des chiens. Louisa a toujours vécu en intérieur et sera à l’aise dans un environnement calme et sécurisant. Elle recherche un foyer patient et bienveillant, capable de lui offrir douceur, stabilité et affection, afin qu’elle puisse s’épanouir sereinement.

About Louisa

What life with Louisa looks like

Louisa is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Louisa, answered.

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