Adopt Minette

Female · Senior · 11 years

MINETTE Crevette and Minette arrived at our shelter because the owner could no longer take care of them. Sometimes shy at first, they are still very gentle. Accustomed to living in a house with an outdoor area, we are looking for the same living environment for them. They can go alone, together, or with another cat in the household.

MINETTE Crevette et Minette sont arrivées au refuge car le propriétaire ne pouvait plus s’en occuper. Parfois timide au premier abord, elles se montrent tout de même très gentille. Habituées a vivre en maison avec extérieur, nous recherchons le même cadre de vie pour celles ci. Elle pourront partir seules, ensembles ou bien avec un autre chat dans le foyer. De part son âge, Minette fait l’objet d’un sauvetage.

About Minette

What life with Minette looks like

Minette is a senior dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 Minette, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Minette?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 dogs 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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.
