Winnie

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

FOR ADOPTION: WINNIE Date of birth estimated: January 2016 Adoption Tendresse (Fee-free) FIV+(*) "My name is Winnie and I am a real love fivou. I am handsome, gentle, and I adore humans. I am a carrier of FIV (not sick, just a carrier), and I simply dream of one thing: to leave the shelter and finally know a loving, joyful, and happy home. I don't like life here... I want hugs, tenderness, and a family for life. Adopt me and I will offer you all my love. Winnie" (*) When a cat tests "positive," it does not mean it is sick, but that it is FIV-positive. In other words, the virus is dormant in its organism, where it can remain silent for several years (5 to 10 years) and may even never wake up.

A L'ADOPTION : WINNIE Date de naissance estimée : Janvier 2016 Adoption Tendresse (Sans frais fixes) FIV+(*) « Je m’appelle Winnie et je suis un vrai fivou d’amour Je suis beau, gentil, et j’adore les humains. Je suis porteur du FIV (pas malade, juste porteur), et je rêve simplement d’une chose : quitter le refuge pour enfin connaître une maison aimante, joyeuse et heureuse Je n’aime pas la vie ici… Moi, je veux des câlins, de la douceur, et une famille pour la vie. Winnie » (*) Lorsqu’un chat est testé « positif », cela ne signifie pas qu’il est malade, mais qu’il est séropositif. Autrement dit, que le virus « sommeille » dans son organisme, où il peut rester silencieux pendant plusieurs années (5 à 10 ans) et peut-être même ne jamais se réveiller.

About Winnie

What life with Winnie looks like

Winnie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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 Winnie, answered.

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