Noumea

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Longtemps cachée dans l'arbuste de sa chatterie, refuge des chats sauvages, Nouméa se risque à présent à en descendre pour se laisser admirer. Et elle est plutôt jolie, toute tigrée avec le petit bout de museau blanc. Ses yeux verts sont un peu tombants, ce qui la rend bien reconnaissable. Tout comme Baguerra, elle est présente depuis plusieurs années au refuge, en raison de son comportement asocial, qui attire peu les adoptants potentiels. Ces chats peureux auraient besoin de liberté, de pouvoir aller et venir à leur guise, sans contrainte, par exemple, vivre dans un lieu ouvert : une ferme, un gîte rural... Ils ne seront sans doute jamais des chats de salon mais pourraient s'habituer doucement à une présence humaine discrète, et qui sait, se laisser amadouer lentement. Candidate au PARRAINAGE

About Noumea

What life with Noumea looks like

Noumea is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA89 Auxerre in spa89 auxerre.

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 Noumea, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Noumea?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA89 Auxerre handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Noumea on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Noumea if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA89 Auxerre 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 Noumea 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 Noumea 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 SPA89 Auxerre early rather than rehoming privately; they know Noumea 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.
