Penelope

Female · Adult · 4 years

Pénélope was adopted in 2019 by a person who, in reality, gave her back to her very elderly mother. She lived with her for 5 years and became obese due to overfeeding. With her mother moving to a retirement home, the lady brought the kitten back to the cattery. Pénélope is a very affectionate cat seeking caresses. She approaches visitors but, alas, her excess weight does not attract adopters. She has lost a few pounds, but of course, she still remains a plump, ticklish cat. She does not pose a problem with other cats, whom she ignores, but what she prefers are humans. She is a poor little kitten in search of a family but does not meet the criteria of adopters. So, who will appreciate the beautiful Pénélope at her true value? She would love so much to move and have HER family! You can contact the cattery in the afternoon or send a message through our website at spasudalpine.fr. Thank you for her!

Pénélope a été adoptée en 2019 par une personne qui en réalité l'a donnée à sa maman très âgée. Elle a vécu 5 ans avec elle et est devenue obèse car surnourrie. La maman étant partie en maison de retraite la dame a ramené la minette à la chatterie. Pénélope est une chatte très câline à la recherche de caresses. Elle s'approche des visiteurs mais hélas son surpoids n'attire pas les adoptants. Elle a pourtant perdu quelques kilos, mais évidemment reste une chatoune dodue.. Elle ne pose pas de problème avec les autres chats qu'elle ignore, non ce qu'elle préfère ce sont les humains. C'est une pauvre minette en recherche d'une famille mais qui ne correspond pas aux critères des adoptants. Alors qui saura apprécier la belle Pénélope à sa juste valeur ? Elle aimerait tant bouger et avoir SA famille ! Vous pouvez contacter la chatterie au 04 92 51 42 44 l'après-midi ou envoyer un message sur notre site dans contact spasudalpine.fr merci pour elle !

About Penelope

What life with Penelope looks like

Penelope is a large adult cat waiting at 30 Millions d'Amis in Paris.

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 Penelope, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Penelope?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 30 Millions d'Amis handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Penelope on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Penelope if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 30 Millions d'Amis 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 Penelope 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 Penelope 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 30 Millions d'Amis early rather than rehoming privately; they know Penelope 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.
