POULETTE

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Hello, I'm Poulette! I recently arrived from the shelter, so my uncles and aunts are still getting to know me. I've probably been a stray cat my whole life. So for now, humans, I don't know much... and they scare me a lot! So I'm looking for someone patient who will learn to gain my trust, who will respect my limits and gradually introduce me to the benefits of family life.

Bonjour, moi c'est Poulette ! Je suis récemment arrivée de fourrière, alors mes tontons et mes tatas apprennent encore à me connaître. J'ai sûrement été une minette errante toute ma vie. Alors pour l'instant, les humains, je ne connais pas trop... et ils me font très très peur ! Je cherche donc quelqu'un de patient qui apprendra à me mettre en confiance, qui saura respecter mes limites et me faire découvrir progressivement les bienfaits de la vie de famille.

About POULETTE

What life with POULETTE looks like

POULETTE is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Bouguenais) in Nantes.

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 POULETTE, answered.

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