Adopt Zia

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

My story: Zia arrived through the pound "Le Passage". My character: Very affectionate, Zia loves cuddles. She likes to curl up on our laps and share real moments of tenderness. She also has a lovely habit: when we press our forehead against hers, she gives us lots of little kisses with her nose. Playful, Zia loves to play with absolutely everything! She will therefore need a lot of activities and stimulation to burn off her energy on a daily basis. Zia is an energetic cat. She doesn't hesitate to climb on furniture and knock things down: therefore, she needs an organized person who keeps their things tidy. She often bites, which is why a home without young children will be preferable. It's not aggression but probably a bad weaning. She is housebroken and knows the closed litter box. Likes / Dislikes: Relationships: • Cats: OK, she can play and sleep with them • Dogs: not tested Outside: Zia does not ask for it at the moment. The presence of another cat will be necessary.

Mon histoire : Zia est arrivée par le biais de la fourrière « Le Passage ». Mon caractère : Très affectueuse, Zia adore les câlins. Elle aime se mettre en boule sur nos genoux et partager de vrais moments de tendresse. Elle a aussi une adorable habitude : lorsqu’on colle notre front au sien, elle nous fait plein de petits bisous avec son nez Joueuse, Zia adore jouer avec absolument tout ! Il lui faudra donc pas mal d’activités et de stimulations pour bien se dépenser au quotidien.Zia est une chatte débordante d’énergie. Elle n’hésite pas à grimper sur les meubles et à faire tomber ce qui traîne : il lui faudra donc une personne organisée, qui range bien ses affaires. Elle peut mordiller assez souvent, c’est pourquoi un foyer sans jeunes enfants sera préférable. Ce n’est pas de l’agressivité mais sûrement un mauvais sevrage.Elle est propre et connaît la litière fermée. J'aime / J'aime pas : Ententes :• Chats : OK, elle peut jouer et dormir avec eux • Chiens : non testée Extérieur :Zia ne le réclame pas pour le moment.La présence d’un autre chat sera nécessaire.

About Zia

What life with Zia looks like

Zia is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at APAA Trégrom 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zia, answered.

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