ALTO

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

ALTO is a cat born on 01/10/2025 in an industrial zone, where a colony of free-roaming cats lives, fed by employees from the various businesses there. He is a young cat, sweet and affectionate, close to people. But there is a catch: ALTO is a kitten with a tic. He spins in circles whenever he is stressed or excited, a sign of a mild neurological condition. Since many things excite him, he spins quite a lot, mainly at mealtimes, to the point that his foster carer calls him Tournicoti or Tilto. He is very greedy, and pâté time is an important moment for him, which he makes known with plenty of purring. Very attached to people, he knows exactly how to ask his foster carer for attention. He also loves his fellow cats and throws himself into long play sessions, sometimes a bit rough, mainly with his friends Basil or Brooklyn. For ALTO we are looking for a calm family, in a secure environment where he can continue to grow. To meet ALTO in Ozoir la Ferrière, please contact 06 89 37 54 33.

A LTO est un chat né le 01/10/2025, dans une zone industrielle où vit une collectivité de chats libres, nourris par les employés des diverses entreprises. C'est un jeune chat gentil, câlin, proche de l'humain mais, parce qu'il y a un mais, ALTO est une chaton qui présente un toc : il tourne en rond dès qu'il est stressé ou excité, signe d'un petit trouble neurologique. Et comme beaucoup de choses sont sources d'excitation, il tourne pas mal, principalement au moment des repas, à tel point que sa FA l'appelle Tournicoti ou Tilto. Très gourmand, l'heure de la pâté est un moment important pour lui, et il le fait savoir à grand renfort de ronrons. Très proche de l'humain, il sait parfaitement réclamer de l'attention auprès de sa FA. Il aime aussi ses congénères et se lance dans de longues parties de jeux, un peu brusques parfois, principalement avec ses copains Basil ou Brooklyn. Nous recherchons pour ALTO une famille calme, dans un environnement sécurisé où il pourra continuer d'évoluer. Pour rencontrer ALTO à Ozoir la Ferrière, merci de contacter le 06 89 37 54 33.

About ALTO

What life with ALTO looks like

ALTO is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at L in France.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting ALTO, answered.

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