Victoire

Female · Senior · 12 years

Victoire is a calm, cuddly and extremely gentle cat. She's an easy-going companion who enjoys tranquility and tender moments with her humans. She gets along with other cats and is also okay with respectful children, making her an adaptable kitty. Victoire suffers from hyperthyroidism, a common disease in older cats that affects thyroid regulation and can cause weight loss, increased appetite or activity. This condition is very manageable with daily treatment and regular veterinary monitoring. Victoire is also FIV positive (feline AIDS). With indoor living and a suitable environment, she can live a serene and comfortable life.

About Victoire

What life with Victoire looks like

Victoire is a medium-sized senior cat waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Note from the shelter: Hyperthyroidism requiring daily medication and regular vet monitoring. FIV positive, needs indoor-only lifestyle.

🇫🇷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 Victoire, answered.

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