How do I contact the shelter about ALBERTINE?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Angoumois handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ALBERTINE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ALBERTINE if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Angoumois 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 ALBERTINE 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 ALBERTINE 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 Refuge Angoumois early rather than rehoming privately; they know ALBERTINE 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.

ALBERTINE

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Albertine has been very protective of her kittens, and it is only now that she is slowly starting to relax and enjoy human presence more. She is still a bit skittish when surprised or when a movement is too sudden, but progress is being made. Little by little, Albertine is revealing herself and enjoying cuddles and moments of tenderness more and more. She will need a calm, patient and gentle family, ready to give her the time she needs to fully trust. To respect her sensitive temperament, we will prioritize a home without young children. ✨ Albertine still has a lot to discover, but she is moving forward every day. With gentleness and stability, she will finally be able to leave her role as a protective mother behind and enjoy a family life all to herself. 🐾

Albertine s’est montrée très protectrice avec ses chatons, et ce n’est que maintenant qu’elle commence doucement à se détendre et à profiter davantage de la présence humaine. Elle reste encore un peu craintive lorsqu’elle est surprise ou qu’un mouvement est trop brusque, mais les progrès sont là. Petit à petit, Albertine se révèle et apprécie de plus en plus les câlins et les moments de tendresse. Elle aura besoin d’une famille calme, patiente et douce, prête à lui laisser le temps nécessaire pour prendre pleinement confiance. Afin de respecter son tempérament sensible, nous privilégierons un foyer sans jeunes enfants. ✨ Albertine a encore beaucoup de choses à découvrir, mais elle avance chaque jour un peu plus. Avec de la douceur et de la stabilité, elle pourra enfin laisser derrière elle son rôle de maman protectrice et profiter pleinement d’une vie de famille rien qu’à elle. 🐾 Albertine s’est montrée très protectrice avec ses chatons, et ce n’est que maintenant qu’elle commence doucement à se détendre et à profiter davantage de la présence humaine.

About ALBERTINE

What life with ALBERTINE looks like

ALBERTINE is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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.
