How do I contact the shelter about VANDA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animacoeur handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw VANDA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt VANDA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animacoeur 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 VANDA 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 VANDA 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 Animacoeur early rather than rehoming privately; they know VANDA 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.

VANDA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

VANDA (born in May 2024) is a small-sized cat. She arrived with her sister and brother, and they remained very shy and fearful of the volunteers for a long time. Recently, VANDA has made great progress and is slowly approaching humans. We can now gently pet her when she is by our side; she lets us do so, and she is never far away when we clean or distribute meals. She is also a big fan of feather toys, which will be a good way to tame her more quickly. We think that a confident friend or girlfriend will show her the way, and she should quickly become an adorable kitten in the family. She doesn't lack much to be completely comfortable with humans. Don't be fooled by her grumpy look, it's family, mom and sister have the same look 🙂! Adoption without young children who might accidentally scare her.

FR·Show original

Vanda (née en Mai 2024) est une puce petit format. Arrivée avec sa sœur et son frère, ils sont restés longtemps très timides et apeurés par les bénévoles. Depuis quelques temps, Vanda a fait de beaux progrès et se rapproche doucement des humains. Nous pouvons maintenant la caresser tranquillement quand elle est à côté de nous, elle se laisse faire, et elle n’est jamais loin quand nous faisons le ménage ou distribuons les repas. C’est également une grande joueuse fan des plumeaux, ce qui sera un bon moyen de l’apprivoiser plus rapidement. Nous pensons qu’un copain ou une copine bien dans ses pattounes lui montrera l’exemple et qu’elle devrait rapidement devenir une minette adorable au sein de la famille. Il ne lui manque pas grand chose pour qu’elle soit totalement à l’aise avec l’humain. Ne vous fiez pas à son petit air renfrogné, c’est de famille, maman et sœurette ont le même regard 🙂 ! Adoption sans jeunes enfants qui pourraient lui faire peur involontairement. Sécurisation obligatoire des fenêtres et pas de sorties extérieures

About VANDA

What life with VANDA looks like

VANDA is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animacoeur in Courbevoie.

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.
