NOISETTE

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Noisette is a young female cat, just over a year old, who arrived at the shelter following the hospitalization of her owner. We know little about her past and her relationships with other animals. Noisette was described as a playful, affectionate and close to humans cat, but life at the shelter is very difficult for her. She does not tolerate confinement well and the cattery environment does not really allow her to show the little cat she is every day. Noisette remains sociable, but she is also a female with her own character, who needs space, references and a more peaceful environment to relax. We therefore hope to find her a new home quickly, ready to give her some time to adapt and rediscover her true personality with her, away from the stress of the shelter. Noisette does not need to spend months behind the doors of a cattery. She needs a home, freedom, presence and a family that will give her the chance to become the playful and affectionate little cat she was before her arrival.

Noisette, Noisette est une jeune demoiselle d’un peu plus d’un an, arrivée au refuge à la suite de l’hospitalisation de son humain. Nous connaissons encore peu de choses sur son passé et sur ses ententes avec les autres animaux. Noisette était décrite comme une chatte joueuse, affectueuse et proche de l’humain, mais la vie au refuge est aujourd’hui très difficile pour elle. Elle supporte mal l’enfermement et le contexte de la chatterie ne lui permet pas vraiment de montrer la petite chatte qu’elle est au quotidien. Noisette reste sociable, mais c’est aussi une demoiselle avec son caractère, qui a besoin d’espace, de repères et d’un environnement plus apaisant pour pouvoir se détendre. Nous espérons donc lui trouver rapidement un nouveau foyer, prêt à lui laisser un petit temps d’adaptation et à redécouvrir avec elle sa véritable personnalité, loin du stress du refuge. Noisette n’a pas besoin de passer des mois derrière les portes d’une chatterie. Elle a surtout besoin d’une maison, de liberté, de présence et d’une famille qui lui donnera la chance de redevenir la petite chatte joueuse et affectueuse qu’elle était avant son arrivée.

About NOISETTE

What life with NOISETTE looks like

NOISETTE is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting NOISETTE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about NOISETTE?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Angoumois handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw NOISETTE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt NOISETTE if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Angoumois 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is NOISETTE 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 NOISETTE 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 Refuge Angoumois early rather than rehoming privately; they know NOISETTE 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.
