Adopt PETRA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

PETRA is a small, very shy and discreet little kitty. She still hasn't let anyone pet her but she loves basking in the Breton sun. PETRA must only be let outside in a secure area. The ideal family for PETRA is one that is not afraid to open their home to a very shy cat who needs to gain confidence. PETRA arrived at the shelter with her two kittens (both adopted). The little family came from a large rescue operation of a cat colony near a supermarket, due to the lack of spaying/neutering of private cats who reproduced at an alarming rate. Estimated birth date: 09/10/2017 Coat color: Black and white Arrival at the shelter: 27/06/2018 Vaccination: Vaccinated against FVRCC Identification: Chipped with an electronic microchip We apologize in advance for being selective in adoptions, but we invest a lot of time, love, money, and energy into these rescues.

About PETRA

What life with PETRA looks like

PETRA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Chat Quiberon in Quiberon.

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 PETRA, answered.

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