Tiwaz

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Tiwaz was on a breeding site in an urban area near construction work. Shy and cautious, she took time to be caught. When she was finally caught, she had a severe respiratory infection that was treated. Since then, she has been doing well. She has made a lot of progress but remains generally very quiet. She is much less shy and fearful thanks to the socialization work in her foster family, which allows her to gradually reveal herself and show her character and personality. She has difficulty asserting herself in front of other cats she lives with, but adores contact with them when the relationship is good. She is always attached to her friend, Canelle, also in foster care. She has gotten used to avoiding petting and contact. This may come one day, but her future family will have to accept this and not look for a cuddly cat that comes to ask for physical interaction. This is the type of kitten who enjoys life by sharing the same living space, as well as moments of camaraderie and play, but without petting and cuddles. She is satisfied with cuddles from other cats, which suits her and must be respected. This does not prevent trying interactions, since it is possible that one day she will have a breakthrough and begin to enjoy human petting, but never by imposing or pressuring her to become cuddly. A calm environment with one or two other cats would be ideal for her. There should be no access to the outside because she remains very timid, or a secure access, like she currently has with a catio in her foster home that allows her to have sunbaths.

Tiwaz était sur un site de prolifération dans une zone en ville proche de travaux. Maline et méfiante, elle a mis du temps à se laisser attraper. Quand elle a enfin été attrapée, elle avait une vilaine infection respiratoire qui a été soignée. Depuis, elle va bien. Elle a déjà fait beaucoup de progrès mais elle reste globalement très discrète. Elle est beaucoup moins timide et peureuse grâce au travail de sociabilisation dans sa famille d’accueil qui lui permet de se dévoiler au fur et à mesure, et de nous montrer son caractère et sa personnalité. Elle a du mal à s’imposer face aux autres chats avec lesquels elle cohabite, mais adoooore le contact avec eux quand l’entente se fait bien. Elle est tout le temps collée à sa copine, Canelle, également en famille d’accueil. Elle a pris l’habitude d’éviter les caresses et le contact. Cela viendra peut-être un jour mais il faudra que sa future famille accepte cela et ne cherche pas un chat câlin qui vient réclamer des interactions physiques. C’est le genre de minette avec qui on profite de la vie en partageant le même espace de vie, ainsi que des moments de complicité et de jeu, mais sans caresses et câlins. Elle se satisfait sur le plan câlins avec les autres chats, ça lui convient comme ça et il faut respecter ses préférences. Cela n’empêche pas de tenter des interactions puisqu’il se peut qu’un jour elle ait un déclic qui lui fait apprécier les caresses des humains, mais sans jamais imposer ni lui mettre la pression pour qu’elle devienne câline. Un environnement calme, avec un ou deux autre(s) chat(s) serait idéal pour elle. Il faudra que ce soit sans accès à l’extérieur car elle reste très trouillarde, ou bien un accès sécurisé, comme elle a actuellement avec un catio chez sa famille d’accueil qui lui permet d’aller faire des bains de soleil.

About Tiwaz

What life with Tiwaz looks like

Tiwaz is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at ADPK - Association Des P in adpk association des p tits korrigans.

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 Tiwaz, answered.

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