truffe

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

**Truffe — 1 an et demi, 2,4 kg de courage** Elle s’appelle Truffe, comme une promesse douce, comme quelque chose qu’on devine tendre avant même de la connaître. Un an et demi seulement, et déjà tant d’histoires trop lourdes pour un si petit corps. La galère, la faim, les portées… et même, au moment d’être enfin stérilisée, la vie qui battait encore en elle. Truffe, c’est une petite âme cabossée, 2,4 kg de fragilité et de résistance mêlées. Là où elle vivait, malgré tout, elle venait vers les mains, acceptait les caresses, comme si elle croyait encore un peu en nous. Aujourd’hui, elle doute. Depuis qu’elle a été mise à l’abri, le monde a changé trop vite. Elle se fait discrète, en retrait, comme si elle cherchait à comprendre ce qui lui arrive enfin de bon. Mais nous, nous savons. Nous savons que derrière ses silences, il y a une chatte qui apprend doucement à faire confiance. Alors non, nous ne baissons pas les bras. Truffe aura besoin de temps, de douceur, d’un foyer patient où rien ne sera brusque. ✔ Ok chats ✔ Chiens à tester ❌ Pas d’enfants 🏡 Maison ou appartement avec extérieur obligatoire Côté santé, elle a aussi ses petites batailles : FIV+, plusieurs incisives manquantes, des dents un peu tordues, et une prolifération au niveau des arcs palatoglosses à surveiller. Un complément est en cours, et une alimentation riche, type chaton, l’aide à reprendre des forces. Truffe n’est pas une adoption “facile”. C’est une rencontre. Une de celles qui demandent du cœur, de la patience, et qui, un jour, offrent en retour quelque chose de rare : la confiance retrouvée. Si vous cherchez un animal “clé en main”, elle n’est pas pour vous. Mais si vous êtes prêt à aimer une petite âme en reconstruction, alors peut-être… que Truffe vous attend.

About truffe

What life with truffe looks like

truffe is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA d'Annecy Marlioz 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting truffe, answered.

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