ZINNIA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

ZINNIA is a shy and discreet little cat. She still doesn't like to be petted but seems to be gaining more confidence. She loves to show off and rub against us by the windows, but as soon as we're in the same room, she stops her charm act… ZINNIA must only be allowed outside in a secure environment. The ideal family for ZINNIA is one that is not afraid to open their home to a very shy cat who needs to gain confidence. ZINNIA was found wandering with her 5 kittens. The little family was taken in by the association. All her kittens have found homes. Estimated birth date: 05/07/2022 Arrival at the shelter: Summer 2024 Vaccination: Vaccinated against FVRCP Microchip: Identified by an electronic microchip Please forgive us in advance for being selective in adoptions, but we invest a lot of time, love, money, and energy into these rescues.

ZINNIA est une minette craintive et discrète. Elle ne se laisse toujours pas caresser mais semble prendre confiance de plus en plus. Elle adore faire la belle et se frotter devant nous aux fenêtres mais dès qu’on est dans la même pièce, elle stoppe son numéro de charme direct… ZINNIA ne doit sortir que dans un extérieur sécurisé. La famille idéale pour ZINNIA est une famille qui n’aura pas peur d’ouvrir son foyer à un chat très craintif qui doit prendre confiance. ZINNIA a été trouvé errante avec ses 5 chatons. La petite famille a été prise en charge par l’association. Ses petits ont tous trouvés une famille.

About ZINNIA

What life with ZINNIA looks like

ZINNIA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Chat Quiberon in Quiberon.

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 ZINNIA, answered.

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