Tigresse- J61 Femelle née le 01/03/23. Tigresse fait partie de nos grands oubliés… Voilà déjà deux longues années qu’elle attend au refuge… Cette magnifique minette aux yeux couleur menthe à l’eau, pleine de sensibilité, nous touche énormément. Elle miaule doucement pour réclamer quelques friandises, cherchant à attirer l’attention… mais le contact direct l’intimide. Pourtant, on devine qu’elle en a envie. Elle aime qu’on la remarque et nous appelle Avec les personnes qu’elle connaît bien, Tigresse accepte de manger dans la main ou plutôt au bout des doigts. Et les progrès sont là : une de nos bénévoles peut la caresser lorsqu’elle se sent en sécurité, nichée dans une cabane ou blottie dans un coin. Avec la belle, tout est question de patience, de douceur et de respect. Il faut lui prouver qu’elle peut faire confiance, qu’on ne craint pas ses réactions de défense, et qu’on est là pour elle quelque soit son attitude. Sa famille existe bien quelque part ? Une famille calme, bienveillante et compréhensive, prête à offrir une chance à une chatte discrète, et malheureusement invisible aux yeux des visiteurs…Une famille qui saura lui laisser le temps, qui acceptera d’avancer à son rythme car la confiance se construit, pas à pas. Venez vite la rencontrer.

About Tigresse

What life with Tigresse looks like

Tigresse is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SCPA Carcassonne in Carcassonne.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tigresse, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tigresse?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SCPA Carcassonne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tigresse on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tigresse if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SCPA Carcassonne 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tigresse 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 Tigresse 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 SCPA Carcassonne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tigresse 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.
