YÉNA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · 6 months

Here is YÉNA, the sister of AMORÉE, CZÉNA and BONNIE. They are the four daughters of a feral Mama who were trapped one after another by Murielle at her workplace at the Darse du Port. The mother was also trapped so she could be spayed before being returned to the site, where Murielle feeds her every day. Murielle took very good care of the kittens and tamed them. They are almost 6 months old now and have become Sauvadiennes. She tells us about Yéna: "Yéna was very reserved, but she is becoming less so. She comes out of hiding easily to ask for strokes. She likes to be cuddled against me and also enjoys cuddles with her sisters."

Voici YÉNA, la sœur d’AMORÉE, CZÉNA et BONNIE. Ce sont les quatre filles d’une Maman sauvage qui ont été trappées au tour à tour par Murielle sur son lieu de travail à la Darse du Port. La mère a elle aussi été trappée pour être stérilisée avant d’être remise sur site où elle est nourrie au quotidien par Murielle. Murielle a bien pris soins des chatonnes et les a apprivoisées. Elles ont presque 6 mois maintenant et sont devenues Sauvadiennes. Elle nous dit de Yéna : “Yéna était très réservée mais elle l’est de moins en moins. Elle sort facilement d’une cachette pour réclamer des caresses. Elle aime se laisser câliner contre moi et apprécie aussi les câlins avec ses sœurs. ” (function(){if(window. PGC_SGB && window.

About YÉNA

What life with YÉNA looks like

YÉNA is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Association Sauvade in France.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting YÉNA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about YÉNA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Sauvade handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw YÉNA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt YÉNA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Sauvade 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is YÉNA 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 YÉNA 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 Association Sauvade early rather than rehoming privately; they know YÉNA 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.
