Adopt Nébuleuse

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

Type/Breed: European (Non LOOF) Age: Born on 03/11/2017 Microchip number: 250269590635385 History: Nébuleuse is the sister of Naos and Nadya. She is part of a group of cats born in the street, who squat private gardens. Becoming unwanted, one of the neighbors played all sorts of tricks on them, such as putting vinegar in the water bowl left for them during hot weather. The latest was sending a municipal councilor who asked the person feeding them to find a solution... Personality: Like the rest of her litter, Nébuleuse was rescued from the street and had to learn to live indoors with humans, something that is still not obvious for her. Curious and food-motivated but cautious, at first she will not come out of her hiding place and will not allow herself to be approached unless something tempting is offered! She will need time to get used to her new home and adopters, so patience is needed and she must not be rushed. Several weeks after being taken in and living indoors, she becomes a bit more approachable. Ideally, she would do best in a quiet environment (possibly with other cats to help her gain confidence?) with a balcony if possible, as she loves watching what is happening next door. Adoption fees: 115 euros Adoption outside France is entirely possible. However, the adoption fee must be increased by the costs related to leaving the country (rabies vaccination and passport mandatory 21 days before her departure). The adopter must also be able to visit the foster family to meet the animal. Tested FIV/FELV:

Type/Race : Européen (Non LOOF) Âge : née le 03/11/2017 N° de puce : 250269590635385 Histoire : Nébuleuse est la sœur de Naos et Nadya. Elle fait partie d’une bande de chats nés dans la rue, et qui squattent les jardins de particuliers. Devenus indésirables, l’une des voisines leur faisait toutes sortes de crasses possibles, comme mettre du vinaigre dans la gamelle d’eau laissées à leur disposition pendant les fortes chaleurs. La dernière en date fut d’envoyer un conseiller municipal qui a demandé à la personne qui les nourrissait de trouver une solution… Caractère : Comme le reste de la fratrie, Nébuleuse a été récupérée dans la rue et a dû apprendre à vivre en intérieur au côté de l’humain, chose qui n’est pas encore évidente pour elle. Curieuse et gourmande mais méfiante, dans un premier temps, elle ne sortira de sa cachette et ne se laissera approcher que si on lui propose quelque chose d’appétissant ! Elle aura besoin de temps pour s’habituer à son nouveau foyer et à ses adoptants, il faudra donc être patient et ne pas la brusquer. Plusieurs semaines après sa prise en charge et une vie en intérieur, elle se laisse approcher un peu plus facilement.. L’idéal pour elle serait un environnement calme (éventuellement avec d’autres chats pour l’aider à prendre confiance?) avec un balcon si possible, car elle adore observer ce qui se passe chez les autres . Frais d’adoption : 115 euros L’adoption hors de France est tout à fait possible. Il faut cependant majorer le montant de l’adoption des frais relatifs à la sortie du territoire (vaccin rage et passeport obligatoires 21 jours avant son départ). L’adoptant doit pouvoir également se rendre dans la famille d’accueil pour rencontrer l’animal. Testé fiv/felv : OUI, négatif

About Nébuleuse

What life with Nébuleuse looks like

Nébuleuse is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Action 4 Pets in France.

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 Nébuleuse, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nébuleuse?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Action 4 Pets handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nébuleuse on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nébuleuse if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Action 4 Pets 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 Nébuleuse 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 Nébuleuse 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 Action 4 Pets early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nébuleuse 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.
