Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

OPALE Date of birth: 01/2026 Sex: Female Status: Coming soon for adoption Description: Opale is a young tabby who had an accident and ended up with a fractured pelvis. She still has 2 weeks of recovery left, but she is already walking almost normally. She will therefore not need outdoor access, or only a small outdoor space. Opale is affectionate but sometimes nips and swats with her paws without extending her claws. Her future home would therefore ideally be calm and free of young children.

OPALE Date de naissance : 01/2026 Sexe : Femelle Statut : Bientôt l'adoption Description : Opale est une jeune minette qui a eu un accident et s'est retrouvée avec le bassin fracturé. Il lui reste encore 2 semaines de convalescence mais elle marche déjà presque normalement. Il ne lui faudra donc pas d'extérieur, ou alors un petit extérieur. Opale est câline mais envoie parfois dents et patounes sans les griffes. Il serait donc préférable que son futur foyer soit calme et sans enfant en bas âge.

About OPALE

What life with OPALE looks like

OPALE is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Chats là là de Valréas in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 OPALE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about OPALE?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Chats là là de Valréas 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 — Chats là là de Valréas 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 OPALE 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 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 Chats là là de Valréas 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.
