Tartine

Mixed Breed · Female

Tartine, at the shelter for 278 days My name is Tartine, a small tabby cat who arrived at the shelter with several of my brothers and sisters recently after being seized by authorities. I am nice, but quite timid since my arrival which makes me aggressive. You will need to give me time to regain confidence and come towards humans; today, at the shelter I don't like being petted. I feel secure with the company of other animals of the same species with whom I pile up to sleep peacefully. If you have patience and don't want a "lap cat" right away, come meet me!

Tartine, au refuge depuis 305 jours Je m’appelle Tartine, petite chatte tigrée arrivé au refuge avec plusieurs de mes frères et sœurs il y a peu suite à une saisie.Je suis gentille, mais assez craintive depuis mon arrivée ce qui me rend agressive. Il faudra me laisser du temps pour que je reprenne confiance et que je vienne vers l’humain ; aujourd’hui, au refuge je n’aime pas que l’on me caresse. Je suis rassurée au contact d’autres congénères avec lesquels je m’empile pour dormir sereinement. Si vous avez de la patience et ne souhaitez pas tout de suite un « chat de genoux », venez me rencontrer !

About Tartine

What life with Tartine looks like

Tartine is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Lagord / La Rochelle in Lagord.

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 Tartine, answered.

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