MINA

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

Kitty was found with her mother in a garden she had been hanging around for several weeks, MINA has a hard time trusting humans. Shy and not easily handled, she will need time, patience, and lots of love to, maybe, become a contented kitty. MINA is a beautiful tricolor fur that we had to shave upon her arrival at the shelter, being full of matted fur. The photo therefore does not do her justice at all! We will avoid young children who might disturb her. For home or apartment living.

Chatte retrouvée avec sa maman dans un jardin dans lequel elle traine depuis plusieurs semaines, Mina a du mal à faire confiance a l'être humain. Craintive et peu manipulable, il lui faudra du temps, de la patience et beaucoup d'amour pour, peut-être, devenir une chatte bien dans ces pattes. Mina est une magnifique poilue tricolore que nous avons dû raser lors de son arrivée au refuge, étant remplie de bourres de poils. La photo ne lui rend donc pas du tout hommage ! Nous éviterons les jeunes enfants qui risquent de la perturber. Pour vie en maison, Mina avait l'habitude de sortir.

About MINA

What life with MINA looks like

MINA is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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 MINA, answered.

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