Adopt VOLOTEA

Female · Adult · 6 years

Volotéa arrives from Quimper and hopes to find her forever family in the Paris region. Volotéa is a shy cat who came from the pound. We know nothing about her previous life. She is not at ease yet but accepts contact. It will take time for her to appreciate, but it's a good start. She is looking for gentle and patient adopters who will give her the time to evolve at her own pace. She must live in an apartment, with no outdoor access, and no young children. The presence of a first cat, sterilized, identified, vaccinated, and carrier of FIV+, will be mandatory for her evolution. VOLOTEA is in SOS because she is FIV+, she also has gingivitis and has recently undergone enucleation. Come meet her soon!

About VOLOTEA

What life with VOLOTEA looks like

VOLOTEA is a small adult cat waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

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.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive, gingivitis, recently enucleated (eye removed)

🇫🇷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 VOLOTEA, answered.

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