How do I contact the shelter about Maï?

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

Can I adopt Maï if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — La Patte Normande 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 Maï 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 Maï 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 La Patte Normande early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maï 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.

Maï

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

🌈 FOR ADOPTION 🌈 Maï, a female tuxedo cat estimated to be 5 years old. Maï spent the early part of her life outdoors, living on a parking lot and going through multiple litters of kittens. She owes her survival to compassionate humans who provided her with enough food to stay alive. All of that is in the past now, and now Maï is a true indoor cat. She loves her comfort, her bowl, and the scratches from humans who dote on her. She would never set a paw outside. She is a calm, gentle, and really sweet cat. She loves contact and presence. She is clean and in perfect health. Maï is looking for a home all her own and without other animals. Apartment or house. A home as calm as she, without young children. She is identified, spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and FIV/FELV negative. Adoption fee: 200€ Maï is in foster care in Le Havre. A request form is needed. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

About Maï

What life with Maï looks like

Maï is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at La Patte Normande in Bolleville.

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.
