Alfred

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Alfred has a little message for you 💖 Hi, I'm Alfred! If you're looking for an independent cat who likes to keep to himself, I'm not your cat! I love being with humans. Cuddles, pets, lounging on the couch, following you from room to room... I never get tired of it. They often say I'm a real cat-dog, because I love being close to my family and participating in the life of the house. I'm very sociable and I easily go to people. Children, even the smallest ones, don't scare me: I like them a lot and I'm always ready for some pets (or to ask for some). I'm also a little greedy... If you take out a treat, there's a good chance I'll be the first to arrive! With other cats, everything goes very well. I love playing with them. Well, it seems that I sometimes get a little carried away and still pull out my claws in the heat of the moment, but I'm a young cat who learns quickly. For the outdoors, I'm not complicated: I can live very well indoors or with access to the outdoors, I'll know how to adapt. In short, I'm an affectionate, sociable, funny, easy-going and especially very, very cuddly cat. If you dream of a companion who loves to share your daily life and who will come looking for cuddles whenever he has the chance, I may be the cat you need.

Alfred a un petit message pour vous 💖 Salut, moi c'est Alfred ! Si tu cherches un chat indépendant qui fait sa petite vie dans son coin… ce n'est clairement pas moi ! Moi, ce que j'aime par-dessus tout, c'est être avec les humains. Les câlins, les caresses, les moments sur le canapé, te suivre d'une pièce à l'autre… je ne m'en lasse jamais. On dit souvent que je suis un vrai chat-chien, parce que j'adore être au contact de ma famille et participer à la vie de la maison. Je suis très sociable et je vais facilement vers les gens. Les enfants, même les plus petits, ne me font pas peur : je les apprécie beaucoup et je suis toujours partant pour recevoir quelques caresses (ou en réclamer ). Je suis aussi un petit gourmand… Si tu sors une friandise, il y a de grandes chances que je sois le premier arrivé ! Avec les autres chats, tout se passe très bien. J'aime beaucoup jouer avec eux. Bon, il paraît que je me laisse parfois un peu emporter et que je sors encore les griffes dans le feu de l'action, mais je suis un jeune chat qui apprend vite. Pour l'extérieur, je ne suis pas compliqué : je peux très bien vivre en intérieur ou avec un accès à l'extérieur, je saurai m'adapter. En bref, je suis un chat affectueux, sociable, drôle, facile à vivre et surtout très, très câlin. Si tu rêves d'un compagnon qui adore partager ton quotidien et qui viendra chercher des câlins dès qu'il en a l'occasion, je suis peut-être le chat qu'il te faut.

About Alfred

What life with Alfred looks like

Alfred is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Des Coeurs à Sauver in des coeurs a sauver.

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 Alfred, answered.

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