Adopt Withney

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 5 months

July 16, 2018: capture of a striped and white stray cat with her two 1.5-month-old kittens in a garden at 17 rue des lauriers in St orens. It was learned that a woman from 15 rue des lauriers had let her cats multiply for years, and in 2014 and 2017 we rescued some without knowing they were hers: Lulubelle, Milady and her three kittens Milord, Missis and Mister, possibly Oscar, H 219 and her five kittens born in a flowerpot and tied by their umbilical cords by kids, stuck barely born in a fence... A neighbor took in a Siamese tabby and her five kittens last year, four of whom died from feline flu... A lady took in an Isabella kitten three years ago... We are not done discovering! June 2018: H 228, a striped tabby spayed and released, sociable. July 16, 2018: another one! She had her kittens in a garden. One of them died in its first month, the male Siamese kitten Elvis, supposedly one month and 19 days old, weighs 560g, wow! He doesn't groom himself... I thought people had mistaken the birth date but when I weighed his black and white sister, Witney, 760g, we are looking at 6-7 weeks, that matches. July 22: they still have diarrhea but eat a lot and grow. August 10: almost two and a half months. Vaccinated, spayed, tattooed, PCR test negative. Withney was very difficult at first, aggressive but she has become super affectionate. The issue is trusting a stranger. With patience... Adorable! They don't like arms and strangers... They only see me, it makes sense. Reminder: vaccination, PCR test negative, spaying/neutering, tattoo identification. February 23, 2019: adopted by Cani'cat. Returned after 11 days. She hides, hisses, pretends to attack and urinates and defecates everywhere. Shy but also a bit stubborn. Adorable with me but characterful with strangers and other cats.

16 Juillet 2018 : capture d’une chatte sauvage tigrée et blanche avec ses 2 bébés de 1,5 mois dans un jardin 17 rue des lauriers à St orens. On apprend qu’une dame du 15 rue des lauriers a laissé proliférer ses chats depuis des années, on en a récupéré en 2014 et 2017 sans savoir que c’étaient les siens : Lulubelle, Milady et ses 3 bébés Milord, Missis et Mister, peut-être Oscar, H 219 et ses 5 bébés nés dans un pot de fleur et attachés par leur cordon par des gamins, coincés à peine nés dans un grillage… Un voisin a recueilli l’an dernier une chatte siamoise écaille et ses 5 bébés dont 4 sont morts du coryza… Une dame a recueilli une chatonne isabelle il y a 3 ans… On n’a pas fini d’en découvrir ! Juin 2018 : H 228 chatte tigrée écaille stérilisée à terme et relachée, sociable. 16 juillet 2018 : une autre ! Elle a fait ses bébés dans un jardin. Un d’entre eux est mort dans son premier mois, Le petit mâle siamois Elvis censé avoir un mois et 19 jours fait 560g, oula ! Il ne fait pas sa toilette… Je me suis dit que les gens s’étaient trompé sur la date de naissance mais quand j’ai pesé la soeur noire et blanche, Witney, 760g on est dans les 6-7 semaines, ça correspond. 22 juillet : ils ont toujours la diarrhée mais mangent beaucoup et grandissent. 10 aout : presque 2 mois et demi. Vaccin. Stérilisée, tatouée, testée négative PCR. Withney a été très difficile au départ, agressive mais elle est devenue super caline. Le soucis est de faire confiance à un inconnu. Avec de la patience…. Adorables ! Ils n’aiment pas les bras et les inconnus… Ils ne voient que moi, ça s’explique. Rappel vaccin, test pcr négatif, stérilisation, tatouage. 23 février 2019 : adoptée à Cani’cat. Retour après 11 jours. Elle se cache, feule, fait mine d’attaquer et fait pipi et caca partout. Peureuse mais aussi un peu cabocharde. adorable avec moi mais caracterielle avec els inconnus et les autres chats. a parrainer >> Vous pouvez suivre Withney sur le forum >> Vous pouvez nous aider en parrainant Withney

About Withney

What life with Withney looks like

Withney is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Les Chats du hasard in Saint-Orens-de-Gameville.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Withney, answered.

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