How do I contact the shelter about Rose?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Anim'toit handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rose on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rose if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Anim'toit 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 Rose 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 Rose 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 Anim'toit early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rose 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.

Rose

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Rose, 7 years old – free-spirited Rose is an ex-stray cat. She has been at the shelter for 5 years. At first, she was wild. Not aggressive, not fleeing out of fear: simply independent. Then came the greed. She took the first step. Then another. At her own pace. Today, Rose is very talkative. She always has a story to tell to whoever takes the time to listen, she comments on everything, and addresses those who pass by. The contact, however, is a privilege she chooses. Rose does not allow everyone to touch her. Only certain volunteers, with patience and gentleness, have managed to gain her trust. Here, nothing is forced. Everything is built. Like in The Little Prince, this Rose has her thorns. Not to keep people away, but to remind that what is precious requires attention. Taming Rose means understanding that the relationship is born from shared time, respect, and consistency. Rose is looking for a responsible person, ready to offer a calm and reliable presence. Someone who will accept that the essential is not in the gesture, but in the bond. Because behind her elegance and strong character, Rose only wants one thing: to be sincerely loved, exactly as she is. I am waiting for you at the shelter for a tender meeting. Together, we could form a great team! Breed: European Birthday: 01/01/2019 (estimated) Gender: Female Spayed: Yes Identified: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Shelter Anim'toit

Rose, 7 ans – l’élégance libre Rose est une ancienne chatte libre. Elle évolue sur le refuge depuis 5 ans. Au départ, elle était sauvage. Pas agressive, pas fuyante par peur : simplement indépendante. Et puis il y a eu la gourmandise. Elle a fait le premier pas. Puis un autre. À son rythme. Aujourd’hui, Rose est très bavarde. Elle a toujours un potin à raconter à qui prendra le temps de l’écouter, elle commente tout, et interpelle ceux qui passent Le contact, lui, est un privilège choisi. Rose ne se laisse pas toucher par tout le monde. Seules certaines bénévoles, avec patience et douceur, ont su gagner sa confiance. Ici, rien ne se force. Tout se construit. Comme dans Le Petit Prince, cette Rose a ses épines Non pour tenir à distance, mais pour rappeler que ce qui est précieux demande de l’attention. Apprivoiser Rose, c’est comprendre que la relation naît du temps partagé, du respect, et de la constance. Rose cherche une personne responsable, prête à offrir une présence calme et fiable. Quelqu’un qui acceptera que l’essentiel ne soit pas dans le geste, mais dans le lien. Car derrière son élégance et son caractère affirmé, Rose ne souhaite qu’une chose : être aimée sincèrement, telle qu’elle est. Je vous attends au refuge pour une rencontre pleine de tendresse. Ensemble, on pourrait former une belle équipe ! Race : Européen Date de naissance : 01/01/2019 (estimé) Sexe : Femelle Stérilisé : Oui Identifié : Oui Vacciné : Oui Refuge Anim’toit

About Rose

What life with Rose looks like

Rose is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Anim'toit in Prinquiau.

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.
