SPATULE

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Derrière ses grands yeux remplis de douceur se cache une petite minette de 2 ans et demi qui a déjà parcouru un long chemin. Lorsqu’elle est arrivée en famille d’accueil, Spatule était extrêmement craintive. Aujourd’hui, grâce à la patience et à la bienveillance qui lui ont été offertes, elle ose venir manger dans la main. Un petit geste qui peut sembler anodin, mais qui représente pour elle une immense victoire. Spatule reste une chatte très timide. Les caresses ne font pas encore partie de son quotidien, mais elle progresse à son rythme, avec beaucoup de courage. C’est une minette sensible qui a besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance, sans jamais être brusquée. Elle s’entend très bien avec les autres chats et apprécie leur présence rassurante. Un foyer calme, sans agitation, serait idéal pour lui permettre de continuer à s’épanouir. Adopter Spatule, c’est choisir de donner sa chance à une petite âme discrète qui ne demande qu’à découvrir que l’humain peut aussi être synonyme de sécurité et d’amour. Son évolution demandera de la patience, mais la voir gagner en confiance jour après jour sera une expérience unique et profondément touchante. Spatule n’est peut-être pas la chatte qui viendra immédiatement chercher des câlins, mais elle est celle qui vous offrira la plus belle des récompenses : le privilège de voir naître la confiance dans son regard. Spatule recherche une adoption ou une famille d’accueil investie, patiente et aimante. Elle est actuellement en famille d’accueil si vous souhaitez la rencontrer , contactez l’équipe adoption chat

About SPATULE

What life with SPATULE looks like

SPATULE is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Poitiers in Poitiers.

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 SPATULE, answered.

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