How do I contact the shelter about TÉTHYS?

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

Can I adopt TÉTHYS if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Sauvade 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 TÉTHYS 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 TÉTHYS 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 Association Sauvade early rather than rehoming privately; they know TÉTHYS 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.

TÉTHYS

Mixed Breed · Unknown · 6 months

Voici TÉTHYS la sœur de CRONOS, PHÉBÉ, RHÉA, notre fratrie de 4 chatons sauvés en début d’année. Ils ont été trouvés en décembre dernier sous un banc au Port. La maman venait d’y mettre bas, les bébés n’avaient alors que 2 jours. Ils ont grandi depuis chez Christiane avec leur Maman, mais elle est était trop sauvage pour être adoptée alors elle a été stérilisée et remise sur site où elle est nourrie. Téthys a aujourd’hui presque 6 mois et c’est la dernière à attendre sa famille. Christiane sa sauveuse et famille d’accueil nous dit d’elle : « Vous aimez les challenges et vous êtes patients alors Téthys est faite pour vous. Cette poupée est méfiante, elle vient chercher les caresses mais n’aime pas être prise et maintenue serrée. Elle a été trouvée en très mauvais état (voir les dernières photos). Elle a donc enchaîné les traitements ce qui explique qu’elle n’apprécie pas d’être manipulée mais avec de la patience, persévérance et amour, on peut y arriver. Elle est de toute petite corpulence (un chat nain selon le vétérinaire) mais est très joueuse avec les copains chats ou même en solo. Elle se montre également très curieuse de tout , elle n’hésite pas à venir voir de très près ce qu’il y a dans mon assiette ! Tout passe dans son regard. Très intelligente, elle n’est pas facile à duper surtout si vous avez un médicament caché dans le dos…. » {"galleryType":"pgc_sgb_masonry","galleryId":"de554049","images":[{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-8-768x1024. jpeg","id":20345,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-6-768x1024. jpeg","id":20343,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-7-768x1024. jpeg","id":20344,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-4-768x1024. jpeg","id":20341,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-3-768x1024. jpeg","id":20340,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-9-768x1024. jpeg","id":20346,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-2-768x1024. jpeg","id":20339,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-1-768x1024. jpeg","id":20338,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/TETHYS-10-768x1024. jpeg","id":20337,"alt":""}],"itemsMetaDataCollection":[]} (function(){if(window.

About TÉTHYS

What life with TÉTHYS looks like

TÉTHYS is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Association Sauvade in France.

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.
