How do I contact the shelter about Opale?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. S.P.A Vauclusienne 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 — S.P.A Vauclusienne 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 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 S.P.A Vauclusienne 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.

Adopt Opale

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Opale is a tiny, fragile cat, whose delicate appearance immediately makes you want to protect her. After going through many obstacles on the street, she has finally found refuge with us, a well-deserved rest after a difficult life where the street gives nothing. Shy, she takes time to adapt to her new environment. However, there's no doubt that you will be touched by her curious and questioning gaze, which reveals her desire to form bonds. Make room for this little doll in your heart and home. With a bit of patience and tenderness, Opale will know how to offer you her affection, which is still a bit hidden, and will flourish in a loving environment. (*) ℹ️ When a cat tests "positive," it does not mean that it is sick, but that it is seropositive. In other words, that the virus is "asleep" in its body, where it can remain silent for several years (5 to 10 years) and maybe even never wake up. ℹ️ Opale is very determined to live with you for many years without saying a word... except for love, of course, which it will have for you ... but that's something you'll work out with her 🤣.

OPALE est une chatte toute menue, si fragile qu'on a immédiatement envie de la protéger. Après avoir traversé de nombreux obstacles dans la rue, elle a enfin trouvé refuge chez nous, un repos bien mérité après une vie difficile où la rue ne fait aucun cadeaux. Timide, elle prend le temps de s'adapter à son nouvel environnement. Cependant, nul doute que vous serez touché par son regard curieux et interrogateur, qui révèle son envie de créer des liens. Faites vite une place pour cette petite poupée dans votre cœur et dans votre foyer. Avec un peu de patience et de douceur, OPALE saura vous offrir son affection, pour l’instant encore un peu dissimulée, et s'épanouir dans un environnement aimant. (*) ℹ️ Lorsqu’un chat est testé « positif », cela ne signifie pas qu’il est malade, mais qu’il est séropositif. Autrement dit, que le virus « sommeille » dans son organisme, où il peut rester silencieux pendant plusieurs années (5 à 10 ans) et peut-être même ne jamais se réveiller. ℹ️ OPALE a bien l’intention de vivre à vos côtés de très longues années sans rien déclarer… à part l’amour, bien entendu, qu’il vous portera … mais ça, vous vous arrangerez avec elle 🤣.

About Opale

What life with Opale looks like

Opale is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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.
