Adopt YONA

Female · Young · 2 years

Ageing 2 years and 8 months, YONA arrived at our shelter last year with her babies, whom she cared for with great tenderness. Today, she too is waiting to find a family. YONA is a shy cat who needs time to adapt to a new environment. She values above all calm, routine, and the ability to move at her own pace. Rather independent, YONA likes to stay in her own little world and lead her small cat life, while having the reassuring presence of her human nearby.

Âgée de 2 ans et 8 mois, Yona est arrivée au refuge l’année dernière avec ses bébés, dont elle s’est occupée avec beaucoup de douceur. Aujourd’hui, elle attend à son tour de trouver une famille. Yona est une chatte craintive, qui a besoin de temps pour s’adapter à un nouvel environnement. Elle apprécie avant tout le calme, la routine et le fait de pouvoir évoluer à son rythme. Plutôt indépendante, Yona aime rester dans sa bulle et mener sa petite vie de chat, tout en ayant la présence rassurante de son humain à proximité.

About YONA

What life with YONA looks like

YONA is a young adult cat waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

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 YONA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about YONA?
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 YONA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt YONA 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 YONA 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 YONA 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 YONA 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.
