Pops

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Pops is black, beautiful... and heartbreakingly fragile. She looks at you with her big frightened eyes, eyes that seem to ask a thousand questions: - Can I trust you? - Will you be gentle with me? - Am I safe this time? Pops is very, very shy. She may not come to you right away. She will need time. A lot of patience. Gentle gestures and a reassuring voice. But behind her fear is a little heart that only wants to learn to love without trembling. 🤍 Pops is looking for someone who can respect her pace, celebrate every tiny progress and give her all the tenderness she deserves. For her, your patience will not be just a gift. It will be the beginning of a new life. 🐾

POPS est noire, belle… et bouleversant de fragilité. Elle vous regarde avec ses grands yeux effrayés, des yeux qui semblent poser mille questions : - Est-ce que je peux te faire confiance ? - Est-ce que tu seras doux avec moi ? - Est-ce que, cette fois, je suis en sécurité ? POPS est très, très timide. Elle ne viendra peut-être pas tout de suite vers vous. Elle aura besoin de temps. De beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup de patience. De gestes délicats et d’une voix rassurante. Mais derrière sa peur se cache un petit cœur qui ne demande qu’à apprendre à aimer sans trembler. 🤍 POPS cherche une personne capable de respecter son rythme, de célébrer chaque minuscule progrès et de lui offrir toute la douceur qu’il mérite. Pour elle, votre patience ne sera pas un simple cadeau. Elle sera le début d’une nouvelle vie. 🐾

About Pops

What life with Pops looks like

Pops is an adult european shorthair 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pops, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pops?: 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 Pops on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pops 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pops 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 Pops 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 Pops 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.
