Adopt ROXANE

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

ROXANE is a very shy kitten who knows nothing about family life. ROXANE is quite curious and often wanders around us when we are in the cattery. She will easily be tempted by small treats near you! She will need a gentle and patient home, preferably one that has experience with shy cats. ROXANE will have to stay indoors during her socialization period, which may take some time. The shelter will support you in this adoption process and invites you to meet our little shy ones who deserve just as much a chance to find their family. We prefer a home without young children and without dogs, if possible. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

Elle se laissera facilement tenter par des petites gourmandises près de vous ! Elle aura besoin d’un foyer doux et patient et qui, de préférence, connaît les chats « craintifs ». Roxane devra rester à l’intérieur le temps de sa sociabilisation, qui pourra prendre du temps. Le refuge vous accompagne dans cette démarche d’adoption et vous invite à venir rencontrer nos petits timides qui méritent tout autant de trouver leur famille. On préféra un foyer sans enfants en bas âge et sans chiens de préférence. Roxane est une minette bien timide qui ne connaît rien de la vie de famille.

About ROXANE

What life with ROXANE looks like

ROXANE is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 ROXANE, answered.

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