Raphaella

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

La belle Raphaella errait dehors. Elle a donné naissance à des chatons qui n’ont malheureusement pas survécu, ayant été déplacés beaucoup trop tôt par une personne pensant bien faire en les installant plus confortablement, mais de ce fait Raphaella n’a pas eu le temps de s’imprégner d’eux et ne les a pas reconnus. Cette jolie minette nous a été confiée afin de lui trouver un foyer, malheureusement Raphaella est très restée très craintive, elle se méfie beaucoup des humains et de leurs mains… Raphaella vit au local de l’association depuis plusieurs années. Plutôt calme, elle est très sociable avec les autres chats, mais fuit le contact avec les humains. Elle est testée FIV positif, mais comme tous les chats, elle a droit au bonheur… Descendez en bas de la page pour découvrir les vidéos de Raphaella.

About Raphaella

What life with Raphaella looks like

Raphaella is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Aidofélins Maisons-Laffitte in France.

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 Raphaella, answered.

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