Albator

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 8 years

Albator is a cat who lived many years as a stray, learning to fend for himself in sometimes difficult conditions. Recently taken in by our shelter, he is now in a safe place and searching for a suitable home. He is a social cat with humans but has a strong personality. He enjoys interaction but needs his boundaries respected. Trust will be built over time with understanding and gentleness. Regarding his compatibility, Albator can get along with some cats, but introductions must be done gradually and with caution to ensure a peaceful cohabitation. Health-wise, Albator is a carrier of FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). He must therefore live exclusively indoors to preserve his health and safety. Albator is looking for a patient and attentive family that can respect his assertive personality while offering him security, stability, and affection. In return, he can enjoy a finally peaceful life at his own pace in a home that suits him.

Albator est un chat qui a vécu de nombreuses années en errance, apprenant à se débrouiller seul dans des conditions parfois difficiles. Il a récemment été pris en charge par le refuge afin d’être mis en sécurité et de trouver enfin un foyer adapté. C’est un chat sociable avec l’humain, mais qui possède un fort caractère. Il apprécie le contact tout en ayant besoin que ses limites soient respectées. Une relation de confiance se construira avec du temps, de la compréhension et de la douceur. Concernant ses ententes, Albator peut s’entendre avec certains chats, mais les présentations devront être faites progressivement et avec prudence afin de garantir une cohabitation sereine. Côté santé, Albator est porteur du Sida du chat. Il devra donc vivre exclusivement en intérieur afin de préserver sa santé et sa sécurité. Albator recherche une famille patiente et attentive, capable de respecter sa personnalité affirmée tout en lui offrant sécurité, stabilité et affection. En retour, il pourra profiter d’une vie enfin apaisée, à son rythme, dans un foyer qui lui correspond.

Frequently asked

Adopting Albator, answered.

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