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

Can I adopt Alhi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases.

Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Alhi 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.

What happens if Alhi 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 ADPK - Association Des P early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alhi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Alhi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Alhi is no longer the shy and skittish cat who lived for several months on a parking lot. Today, after several months in a comfortable foster home, he has made a beautiful comeback... But it's not just his appearance that has improved: Alhi is now much better on his feet, and much more confident around people. It took time for him to gain trust... He used to come running to our legs when we went to feed him at the parking lot, but that was probably to get attention and occupation, which he desperately lacked during the long days he spent hidden to survive... and this hid a little anxious cat who suffered greatly from life outdoors. We didn't force anything with Alhi, he had the space he needed to get used to his foster home. Once this stage was successful, he made big steps towards people, but always in an anxious and ambivalent way. He wasn't clearly comfortable, but he still wanted closeness. We let him progress at his own pace, little by little... as time went on, Alhi gained confidence. Today, it's enough to call him once and he will meow, get up quickly and rush over giving big headbutts. And then we're in for a big cuddling session, with a purring and a bit drooling Alhi: very happy. He now likes to sit on the bed or the couch, close to us or with his head on us. And the progress is not finished! Play has helped him feel more comfortable in the presence of movement: he loves balls and fishing rods. He will need to be played with to burn off physical and mental energy. We feel Alhi is ready for adoption, in a home that suits him well: an apartment or house without access to the outside, ideally with a cat friend, because he is very happy when he sees a friend: relaxed: He can however do without if there is someone very present and available for him (and why not with someone who adopts him and becomes a foster home for a second cat). In terms of health, Alhi is FIV positive. He should therefore not go outside, except in a secure outdoor area like a catio. He also has a specialized urinary diet that must be maintained for at least 2 years, then a complete urinary check-up with his future vet clinic to see if he can switch back to regular dry kibble. He also has gingivitis that doesn't require surgery for now, but needs to be monitored. This gingivitis could cause significant costs if tooth removal becomes necessary later (which is quite rare).

Alhi n'est plus le chat peureux et cracra qui vivait depuis plusieurs mois sur un parking. Aujourd'hui, après plusieurs mois dans un foyer d'accueil bien confortable, il s'est refait une beauté… Mais il n'y a pas que son physique qui s'est amélioré : Alhi est aujourd'hui beaucoup mieux dans ses pattes, et beaucoup plus en confiance avec les humain•es. Il lui a fallu du temps pour accorder sa confiance… Il accourait pourtant dans nos jambes quand on allait le nourrir sur son parking, mais c'était sûrement pour obtenir de l'attention et de l'occupation dont il manquait cruellement pendant les longues journées qu'il passait caché, pour survivre… et cela cachait surtout un petit chat inquiet qui souffrait beaucoup de sa vie dehors. Nous n'avons rien forcé avec Alhi, il a eu l'espace dont il avait besoin pour s'habituer à son foyer d'accueil. Une fois cette étape réussie, il a fait de grands élans vers les humain•es, mais toujours en étant inquiet et ambivalent. Il n'était clairement pas à l'aise mais voulait quand même de la proximité. On l'a laissé avancer à son rythme, petit progrès par petit progrès… au fur et à mesure du temps, Alhi a pris de l'assurance. Aujourd'hui, il suffit de l'appeler une fois pour qu'il miaule, se lève rapidement et déboule en donnant de gros coups de tête. Et là, on est partis pour une grosse session de câlins, avec un Alhi tout ronron et un peu baveux : trop content. Il aime aujourd'hui se poser sur le lit ou le canapé, tout près de nous ou la tête posée sur nous. Et les progrès ne sont pas finis ! Le jeu a bien aidé les choses pour qu'il soit plus à l'aise en présence de mouvements : il est friand des balles et des cannes à pêche. Il aura besoin que l'on joue avec lui pour se dépenser physiquement mais aussi mentalement. Nous sentons Alhi prêt pour une adoption, dans un foyer qui lui correspondra bien : un appartement ou une maison sans accès à l'extérieur avec idéalement un copain chat car il est trèèèès content quand il voit un pote :détendu: Il pourra cependant faire sans s'il a quelqu'un de très présent et dispo pour lui (et pourquoi pas chez quelqu'un qui l'adopte et devient famille d'accueil pour un deuxième chat ). Côté santé, Alhi est positif au FIV. Il ne doit donc pas aller à l'extérieur, sauf dans un extérieur sécurisé type catio. Il a également une alimentation spécialisée urinaire su'il faudra maintenir pendant au moins 2 ans puis refaire un point urinaire complet avec sa future clinique vétérinaire pour voir s'il peut repasser sur des croquettes classiques. Il a également une gingivite qui ne nécessite pas d'opération pour le moment mais qui sera à surveiller. Cette gingivite pourra causer des frais importants si un retrait des dents s'avère nécessaire plus tard (ce qui est fort…
