Can I adopt Rexie if I live in another country?

Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Rexie 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 Rexie 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 Le Bois Pinson) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rexie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Rexie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Her gaze says volumes about the life she has led. Rexie, this 10-year-old cat has likely always lived outdoors, fending for herself, going through litter after litter and learning to mistrust everything, and especially humans. From this experience, she has retained feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV+) and will now have to live indoors. Recently arrived, the connection is still difficult, and every small progress will require time, patience, and a great deal of respect for her own pace. Behind this shell, however, lies a unique beauty, with an atypical coat that immediately draws the eye, like a reflection of her unique history. Today, she needs a calm environment without expectations, where she can simply exist in safety. Perhaps one day, she will grant her trust. But what is certain is that she deserves a gentle life, far from survival, and someone willing to accept her as she is.

FR·Show original

Son regard raconte une vie de survie. À 10 ans, Rexie a sans doute toujours vécu dehors, livrée à elle-même, enchaînant les portées et apprenant à se méfier des humains. De ce passé, elle garde le sida du chat (FIV+) et devra désormais vivre exclusivement en intérieur. Arrivée récemment au refuge, le contact reste difficile. Chaque progrès demandera du temps, de la patience et le respect de son rythme. Derrière sa méfiance se cache une magnifique chatte au pelage atypique, reflet de son histoire unique. Aujourd’hui, Rexie recherche un foyer calme, sans attentes, où elle pourra enfin vivre en sécurité. Peut-être accordera-t-elle un jour sa confiance, mais une chose est certaine : elle mérite enfin une vie douce, entourée de bienveillance et acceptée telle qu’elle est.
