How do I contact the shelter about Minette?

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 Minette on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Minette 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 Minette 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 Minette 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 Minette 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.

Minette

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

🐾 Minette is looking for a new family 🐾 This little cat, about 10 years old, arrived at our shelter after being found wandering. Despite the announcements made, no owner has come forward as of yet. 💔 According to the current legislation, an owner has two months to claim a lost animal. In the absence of a claim, Minette will be available for permanent adoption starting from August 2, 2026. 🏡 For now, Minette is calm and affectionate. Her recent arrival at the shelter has left her a bit stressed, and she needs time to adapt to her new environment. She tolerates the presence of other cats. However, we do not yet know her reactions towards children and dogs. We are looking for a kind family ready to offer her a new life full of love, in a home where she can continue to enjoy outdoor excursions as she pleases. 📞 Please contact us at 02.

🐾 Minette recherche une nouvelle famille 🐾 Cette petite chatte, âgée d’environ 10 ans, est arrivée chez nous après avoir été trouvée errante. Malgré les annonces diffusées, aucun propriétaire ne s’est manifesté à ce jour. 💔 Conformément à la législation en vigueur, un propriétaire dispose d’un délai de deux mois pour réclamer un animal perdu. En l’absence de réclamation, Minette pourra être proposée à l’adoption définitive à partir du 2 août 2026. 🏡 Pour le moment, Minette se montre calme et affectueuse. Son arrivée au refuge étant récente, elle est encore un peu stressée et a besoin de temps pour s’adapter à son nouvel environnement. Elle tolère la présence des autres chats. En revanche, nous ne connaissons pas encore ses réactions face aux enfants et aux chiens. Nous recherchons pour elle une famille bienveillante, prête à lui offrir une nouvelle vie remplie d’amour, dans un foyer où elle pourra continuer à profiter de sorties en extérieur à sa guise. 📞 Pour tout renseignement complémentaire ou si vous souhaitez offrir une seconde chance à Minette, 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 Minette

What life with Minette looks like

Minette is a 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.
