How do I contact the shelter about URSULE?

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 URSULE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt URSULE 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 URSULE 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 URSULE 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 URSULE and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

URSULE

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Voici URSULE, un grand chat très doux à la magnifique robe noire d’environ 4 ans. C’est Murielle, une fidèle bénévole qui l’ a récupéré à la Darse du Port où elle travaille. Il était vraiment en sale état (voir la dernière photo). Murielle nous raconte : “Je ne comprends pas d’où peut venir ce chat. Dans l’état où je l’ai ramassé la première fois, il avait dû faire plus d’une guerre. Des plaies partout, des abcès jusqu’à l’os. Sans soins et une mise à l’abri, il était bon pour l’euthanasie. Je n’ai pas eu besoin d’une trappe pour le prendre ; il est venu dans mes bras. J’ai eu très peur pour lui, mais il a guéri. C’était la 2 ème fois que je le récupérais lourdement blessé. J’ai décidé de le garder. Il n’y aurait pas de 3ème fois ! ” URSULE est alors devenu Sauvadien. Sa sauveuse Murielle ne tarit pas d’éloges à son sujet : “Il est très grand et aussi câlin et affectueux que grand. Il est vraiment grand mais son poids est proportionnel : 6,4 kg. Je suis contente quand il se décide à descendre de mes bras. Il est plus que beau. Il est magnifique, je le répète si affectueux et reconnaissant. C’est un véritable amour. Il est vraiment est adorable et familier. Il est même un peu pot de colle. Ursule a toutes les qualités pour être un bon compagnon de vie. Je le laisse en liberté dans le jardin quad j’arrive. Il fait tout me retrouver et passer du temps avec moi. Il ne s’éloigne pas trop et préfère être à côté de moi. Il est plus câlin que mes propres chats. Il appelle dès qu’il me sent à proximité ou dès qu’il entend bouger dans la chambre. Le soir, il a besoin de son rituel avant d’aller dormir : un gros câlin et une pincée de croquettes. Et oui, Ursule est par contre très gourmand. Pas de croquettes en libre service. Je lui ai même attribué une gamelle anti glouton. Il se régulera peut-être tout seul quand il sera dans une famille bien à lui. C’est difficile de dire si Ursule est ok congénères. Comme il s’est fait massacré plusieurs fois dans la rue, autant dire qu’il ne recherche pas leur compagnie. Mais il partage depuis peu la chatterie avec Bonnie et Yéna. On peut en conclure que cela se passe bien à condition que ce ne soient pas des mâles dominants qui lui fassent encore des misères. Autrement, il pourrait se montrer peureux et/ou sur la défensive. ” {"galleryType":"pgc_sgb_masonry","galleryId":"ac730390","images":[{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-15. jpeg","id":19782,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-14. jpeg","id":19783,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-16. jpeg","id":19781,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE. jpeg","id":19770,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-7. jpeg","id":19772,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-6. jpeg","id":19773,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-2. jpeg","id":19777,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-1. jpeg","id":19778,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-18. jpeg","id":19779,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-17. jpeg","id":19780,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-12. jpeg","id":19785,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-13. jpeg","id":19784,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-11. jpeg","id":19786,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-4. jpeg","id":19775,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-3. jpeg","id":19790,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-5. jpeg","id":19774,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/URSULE-8. jpeg","id":19771,"alt":""}],"itemsMetaDataCollection":[]} (function(){if(window.

About URSULE

What life with URSULE looks like

URSULE is a extra-large 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.
