Opale

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Opale, the happiness... just for you Very close to humans, Opale loves sharing everyday moments. A couch, a few scratches and a caring presence are enough for her happiness. She is an demonstrative cat who sincerely appreciates interactions and never misses an opportunity to come and claim her dose of affection. Opale will need access to the outdoors in order to enjoy her escapades before returning to the comfort of her home. However, madame prefers to have exclusivity! She will flourish more in a household without another cat, where she can fully enjoy her territory... and especially all the attention from her humans. With Opale, one thing is certain: you'll never lack hugs.

Opale, le bonheur… rien que pour vous Très proche de l’humain, Opale aime partager les petits instants du quotidien. Un canapé, quelques gratouilles et une présence bienveillante suffisent à son bonheur. C’est une chatte démonstrative, qui apprécie sincèrement les échanges et ne manque jamais une occasion de venir réclamer sa dose d’affection. Opale aura besoin d’un accès à l’extérieur afin de profiter de ses escapades avant de retrouver le confort de son foyer. En revanche, madame préfère avoir l’exclusivité ! Elle s’épanouira davantage dans un foyer sans autre chat, où elle pourra profiter pleinement de son territoire… et surtout de toute l’attention de ses humains. Avec Opale, une chose est sûre : vous ne manquerez jamais de câlins.

About Opale

What life with Opale looks like

Opale is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Noé Brest in France.

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 Opale, answered.

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