Adopt Louise

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Louise, nicknamed Moustache, is a unique-tempered cat. Not very playful, she appreciates finding the game that will interest her. Very affectionate, she purrs at the slightest opportunity and adores stretching out to receive long scratches on her belly. Adventurous at heart and talkative, she remains naturally very calm. She prefers to avoid the presence of children and will perfectly thrive as the sole cat in the house, provided that someone is often there to keep her company.

Louise, surnommée Moustache, est une chatte au tempérament unique. Peu joueuse, elle apprécie néanmoins qu’on trouve le jeu qui saura l’intéresser. Très câline, elle ronronne à la moindre occasion et adore s’étendre pour recevoir de longues gratouilles sur le ventre. Aventurière dans l’âme et bavarde, elle reste en même temps d’un naturel très calme. Elle préfère éviter la présence d’enfants et pourra parfaitement s’épanouir comme seule chatte de la maison, à condition qu’on soit souvent là pour lui tenir compagnie.

About Louise

What life with Louise looks like

Louise is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Association Thalya Protection in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Louise, answered.

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