Marie

Mixed Breed · Female

Claire and Marie arrived together and have formed an extremely strong bond. Very bonded, they have a hard time being separated, which is why we urgently wish for them to be adopted together. At the shelter, the two kittens are very timid and prefer to hide to observe their environment discreetly. The stress of the shelter impresses them a lot. They will need time, patience, and a calm environment to gain confidence. Once reassured and in a place where they feel comfortable, Claire and Marie can become affectionate and close to their human.

Claire et Marie sont arrivées ensemble et ont créé un lien extrêmement fort. Très fusionnelles, elles ont beaucoup de mal à être séparées, c’est pourquoi nous souhaitons impérativement qu’elles soient adoptées ensemble. Au refuge, les deux minettes se montrent très timides et préfèrent se cacher pour observer leur environnement en toute discrétion. Le stress du refuge les impressionne beaucoup. Elles auront besoin de temps, de patience et d’un environnement calme pour prendre confiance. Une fois rassurées et dans un endroit où elles se sentent bien, Claire et Marie peuvent devenir câlines et proches de leur humain.

About Marie

What life with Marie looks like

Marie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

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 Marie, answered.

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