Female · Senior · 14 years

Minette – Doyenne Chatte Tigree Ecaille · Female Born on 01/08/2011 Arrived at the shelter on 04/02/2018 Lifestyle: Access to the outdoors Minimum age for children: Adolescents only Dogs: No Cats: No Adoption under the senior contract (50 euros and 30 million friends' veterinary aid) Perhaps you have already met princesses, delicate and precious. Perhaps you have had the privilege of meeting a queen, dignified and resplendent. What is certain, however, is that you have never met an Empress; Determined and Authoritative. I, Minette, First of the name, Proclaimed Supreme Empress of the shelter. I know what I want. I have had the time to reflect during my exile within these walls. I know what I do not want; to be ignored any longer. It is time for me to shine again; to find my people, my subjects, to free myself from my captivity. Thus, I join my list of demands (and I will be uncompromising!) • No children, no other animals. • A pretty little garden. • Quietness. • Unlimited treats! To a good ear, I await your applications, future beggars!_____ Shelter staff recommendations: Do not believe everything our Minette says. She has a taste for drama and exaggeration. Do not give her unlimited treats! The rest of her list is quite just, no children or other animals, an outdoor space for her to judge her empire, and quietness, her own corner. Minette is a cat requiring a daily treatment to soothe her moods, to be given every day without exception. She needs a calm family that listens to her, without taking away her autonomy. She is not a lap cat, but she will surely stay in the same room with you. She is a great chatterbox and you will learn her language and way of communicating quickly. Come and meet our Empress!

About Minette

What life with Minette looks like

Minette is a senior cat waiting at SPA Lorraine Amance in Amance.

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 Minette, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Minette?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Lorraine Amance 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 Lorraine Amance 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 Lorraine Amance 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.
