Adopt MARIVI

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 8 years

MARIVI loves pets and purrs a lot. She is shy but with lots of patience, she will gain confidence in you and will have a lot of love to give you. She had a health problem, so unfortunately she no longer has any teeth, but that does not prevent her from enjoying small treats and especially chicken! MARIVI likes to sit near a window in the sun and she loves to play with small balls.

Read original (fr)

MARIVI aime les caresses et ronronne beaucoup. Elle est peureuse mais avec beaucoup de patience, elle prendra confiance en vous et aura beaucoup d’amour à vous donner. Elle a eu un problème de santé, donc malheureusement elle n’a plus de dents, mais cela ne l’empêche pas d’apprécier les petites friandises et surtout le poulet ! MARIVI aime se mettre près d’une fenêtre au soleil et elle adore jouer avec des petites balles.

About MARIVI

What life with MARIVI looks like

MARIVI is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Poitiers in Poitiers.

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 MARIVI, answered.

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