Adopt MARGUERITE

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

MARUERITE – 5 years, Voilà more than a year that MARGUERITE and the whole family have joined the our shelter. Today, they are still 10 at the shelter waiting for a forever family. Remember… MARGUERITE is a little minette who has experienced many hardships before arriving at the shelter… Removed with her 44 siblings from an unsanitary home, MARGUERITE was able to get back on her feet and is now ready to meet her forever family. With this complicated past, it will take time for MARGUERITE to discover her new home so that she can feel at ease. MARGUERITE is a rather timid and suspicious cat even today. Her adoptive family will have to continue the socialization work to earn her trust. MARGUERITE has not known the outside world, which could potentially be learned over time if she integrates into a home with a garden, for example. MARGUERITE will not be able to consider going outside until she is well socialized within the home. MARGUERITE can live with other cats!

MARUERITE – 5ans, Voilà plus d’un an que Marguerite et toute sa famille ont rejoint le refuge de Mornac. Aujourd’hui, ils sont encore 10 au refuge à attendre une famille pour la vie. Souvenez-vous… Marguerite est une petite minette qui a connu bien des misères avant d’arriver au refuge … Retiré avec ses 44 frères et sœurs d’une maison insalubre, Marguerite a pu être remise sur pattes et est à présent prête à rencontrer sa famille pour la vie. Avec ce passé compliqué, il faudra laisser le temps à Marguerite de découvrir son nouveau foyer afin qu’elle puisse se sentir à l’aise. Marguerite est une chatte assez craintive et méfiante encore aujourd’hui. Sa famille d’adoption devra continuer le travail de sociabilisation pour gagner sa confiance. Marguerite n’a pas connu le monde extérieur, ce qui pourra éventuellement lui être appris au fur et à mesure si elle intègre un foyer avec jardin par exemple. Marguerite ne pourra envisager de sortir en extérieur qu’une fois bien sociabilisée au sein du foyer. Marguerite pourra vivre avec d’autres chats !

About MARGUERITE

What life with MARGUERITE looks like

MARGUERITE is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting MARGUERITE, answered.

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