Paquita ♀️​

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Paquita is a female cat, neutered, vaccinated, and FIV/FELV negative. Her temperament with dogs is unknown. She is compatible with respectful children. She has access to the outdoors (a balcony or terrace may suffice) while in foster care in Les Champs-Géraux (22). Paquita was left behind by her owner when they moved. Fortunately, the neighbors took care of her, but this is unfortunately the second time Paquita has been abandoned in this manner, as her owner had already taken her back after an abandonment. Despite her unfortunate past, Paquita remains an adorable cat and loves human company. She is very calm and affectionate. She used to live mostly outdoors, not by choice, and quickly adapted to her foster home. However, she will appreciate access to the outdoors in her future home, at least a small space to get some fresh air, such as a terrace or balcony. Despite her grumpy appearance, Paquita is an easy-going and good-natured cat. She will enjoy sleeping on a cushion next to you when you are on your computer or coming for pets when you call her. A companion cat is not required. Adoption fee: €210. Adoption process to follow (questionnaire, cat meeting, home visit). Adoption application form:

Identifiée, stérilisée, vaccinée test FIV/FELV négatifs 🐶 ententes chiens non connues 👨‍👩‍👧 Ok enfants respectueux 🌲 accès à l’extérieur (au moins un espace extérieur sécurisé) en famille d'accueil à Les Champs-Géraux (22) Paquita a été laissée sur place par son propriétaire quand il a déménagé. Heureusement les voisins se sont occupés d'elle mais c'est malheureusement la 2ème fois que Paquita est abandonnée de la sorte, car son propriétaire l'avait déjà lui-même récupérée suite à un abandon. Même si le sort s'acharne sur elle, Paquita reste une minette adorable et aime la compagnie des humains. Elle est de nature très tranquille et très câline. Elle vivait majoritairement dehors jusque là, pas par choix, et a vite repris ses marques dans la maison de sa famille d'accueil. Elle appréciera cependant un accès à l'extérieur dans sa future famille, au moins un espace extérieur sécurisé. Malgré son petit air renfrogné, Paquita est une minette facile à vivre et de bonne nature. De nature calme, elle aimera rester dormir sur un coussin à côté de vous quand vous êtes à votre ordinateur, ou sur vos genoux. La présence d'un congénère ne sera pas obligatoire. Frais d'adoption : 210 € Processus d'adoption à suivre (questionnaire, rencontre avec le chat, visite du domicile) Formulaire de demande d'adoption :

About Paquita ♀️​

What life with Paquita ♀️​ looks like

Paquita ♀️​ is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Assistance Animaux en Détresse in assistance animaux en detresse.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paquita ♀️​, answered.

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