Pichenette

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

This lovely Pichenette cat, about 4 years old, arrived with us following her owner's move. She is initially shy but affectionate when she's out. She lived with big children. She doesn't get along with other cats, tending to be territorial. We are looking for a home where she can continue to go out. 📞 For any additional information or if you're interested, please contact us only by phone at 02. ❗ Please do not contact us by message, email, or social media.

Cette jolie minette âgée d’environ 4 ans nous a été confiée car elle vivait depuis longtemps sur un toit sans réel propriétaire. Elle est de nature timide au premier abord mais câline lorsqu’elle est à l’aise. Elle ne s’entend pas avec les chats, elle a tendance à être territoriale. Nous recherchons pour elle un foyer où elle pourra continuer à sortir une fois acclimatée. 📞 Pour toute information complémentaire ou en cas d’intérêt, merci de nous contacter uniquement par téléphone au 02. ❗ Merci de ne pas nous contacter par message, e-mail ou réseaux sociaux.

About Pichenette

What life with Pichenette looks like

Pichenette is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pichenette, answered.

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