Maligne

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

A pretty tricolor cat is looking for a home This pretty tricolor cat, 6 years old, came to us because her elderly and sick owner unfortunately could no longer take care of her properly. ❤️ Personality She is apparently sociable, but she also has her little character and knows how to make herself understood when she doesn't want to be solicited anymore. Currently at the shelter, she is still very stressed and doesn't feel confident enough to let herself be petted. So you will have to give her time and space so that she can gradually take her bearings and reveal her true personality. 🏡 Her future home We are looking for a calm, patient and caring home for her, which will respect her rhythm, her limits and her character. It will be important not to rush things and give her the time she needs to adapt to her new life. 👶 Children: no 🐶 Small calm dog: ok 🐱 Cat: to be evaluated 📞 For any additional information or in case of interest, thank you for contacting us only by phone at 02. ❗ Please do not contact us by message, email or via social networks.

🐾 Une jolie tricolore à la recherche d’un foyer Cette jolie chatte tricolore âgée de 6 ans est arrivée chez nous car sa propriétaire, âgée et malade, n’était malheureusement plus en mesure de s’en occuper correctement. ❤️ Caractère Elle est apparemment de nature sociable, mais elle a également son petit caractère et sait parfaitement se faire comprendre lorsqu’elle ne souhaite plus être sollicitée. Actuellement au refuge, elle est encore très stressée et ne se sent pas suffisamment en confiance pour se laisser caresser. Il faudra donc lui laisser du temps et de l’espace afin qu’elle puisse progressivement prendre ses marques et dévoiler sa vraie personnalité. 🏡 Son futur foyer Nous recherchons pour elle un foyer calme, patient et bienveillant, qui saura respecter son rythme, ses limites et son caractère. Il sera important de ne pas brusquer les choses et de lui laisser le temps nécessaire pour s’adapter à sa nouvelle vie. 👶 Enfants : non 🐶 Petit chien calme : ok 🐱 Chat : à évaluer 📞 Pour toute information complémentaire ou en cas d’intérêt, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02. ❗ Merci de ne pas nous contacter par message, e-mail ou via les réseaux sociaux.

About Maligne

What life with Maligne looks like

Maligne is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maligne, answered.

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