Vanille

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

This little, funny grandma knows exactly who she is. She loves to answer you with her raspy voice when you call her. Since she’s not a fan of other cats and is forced to share her space with them at the shelter, she doesn’t always show her best side. When she’s bonded with someone, she enjoys giving big, cuddly hugs. Vanilla is unlucky—she’s been waiting for five years already to find her forever family, and unfortunately, she keeps ending up with families who bring her back to the shelter, even though she’s quite friendly once she’s in a home environment. She loves peace and quiet and wouldn’t be able to live with children. She has calicivirus (gabapentin—at €9 for a three-month treatment—works well to relieve her discomfort if her gums are sore; just sprinkle the powder into her food). Vanilla can live in an apartment, though a balcony would be a nice bonus for her.

Petite mamie rigolote qui connait bien son nom. Elle aime vous répondre avec sa voix rauque lorsque vous l'appelez. Comme elle n'est pas fan des autres chats et qu'elle est obligée de partager son espace avec eux au refuge , elle ne se montre pas sous son meilleur jour. Lorsqu'elle est attachée à la personne , elle aime faire de gros câlins. Vanille est malchanceuse, elle patiente déjà depuis 5 ans pour trouver sa famille et malheureusement elle ne tombe que sur des familles qui l'a ramène au refuge alors qu'elle se montre sympa dans son foyer . Elle aime sa tranquillité , elle ne pourra pas vivre avec des enfants. Elle est atteinte du calicivirus (la gabapentine 9€ pour 3 mois de traitement fonctionne bien pour la soulager si elle a mal au gencives , poudre à verser dans sa pâtée ) Vanille pourra vivre en appartement , un balcon serait un plus pour elle.

About Vanille

What life with Vanille looks like

Vanille is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

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 Vanille, answered.

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