TINA

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

TINA – 3 years old, at the young age of three years, Tina has already experienced too many hardships. She arrived at the shelter after being abandoned due to behavioral issues. Unfortunately, this lovely little cat has been moved from home to home without ever really finding her place. Because she needed time, attention, and sometimes care... everyone eventually stopped wanting her. Yet, behind this complicated past is a touching cat who just wants one thing: to finally be able to settle down and trust again. Today, Tina needs structure, stability, and especially a patient and kind family, ready to give her time to adapt at her own pace. She is a rather gentle cat, even if she can sometimes show a bit of character, which is also part of her charm. Once she trusts, Tina will know how to create a sincere bond with people who respect her needs and her story. The shelter hopes to offer Tina today what she has never really had: a permanent home, where she will be loved for who she is, without being abandoned at the first obstacle. Tina deserves her chance at last. TINA – 3 years old, at the young age of three years, Tina has already experienced too many hardships.

TINA – 3 ans, Du haut de ses trois petites années de vie, Tina a déjà connu bien trop d’épreuves. Arrivée au refuge après un abandon lié à des problèmes comportementaux, cette jolie minette a malheureusement été baladée de foyer en foyer, sans jamais réellement trouver sa place. Parce qu’elle demandait du temps, de l’attention, parfois des soins… tous ont fini par ne plus vouloir d’elle. Pourtant, derrière ce passé compliqué se cache une chatte touchante qui ne demande qu’une chose : enfin pouvoir se poser et faire confiance. Aujourd’hui, Tina a besoin de repères, de stabilité et surtout d’une famille patiente et bienveillante, prête à lui laisser le temps de s’adapter à son rythme. C’est une chatte plutôt douce, même si elle peut parfois montrer un petit caractère, ce qui fait aussi tout son charme. Une fois en confiance, Tina saura créer un lien sincère avec les personnes qui respecteront ses besoins et son histoire. Le refuge espère aujourd’hui offrir à Tina ce qu’elle n’a jamais vraiment eu : un foyer définitif, où elle sera aimée pour ce qu’elle est, sans être abandonnée au moindre obstacle. Tina devra être le seul chat du foyer. Tina mérite enfin sa chance, une vraie Du haut de ses trois petites années de vie, Tina a déjà connu bien trop d’épreuves.

About TINA

What life with TINA looks like

TINA is a young 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 TINA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TINA?
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 TINA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TINA 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 TINA 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 TINA 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 TINA 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.
