How do I contact the shelter about Antoine?

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

Can I adopt Antoine if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Brigade Animale Bénévole 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 Antoine 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 Antoine 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 Brigade Animale Bénévole early rather than rehoming privately; they know Antoine 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.

Adopt Antoine

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Antoine is a very affectionate cat, sometimes even clingy, once he is trustful. He loves to play, eats with appetite and sleeps peacefully, often deeply. Very close to his foster family, he likes to be cuddled: as soon as someone sits down, he comes to sit on their lap, and at night, he snuggles up against them to sleep. Despite this, Antoine is a sensitive and timid cat in the presence of strangers or unexpected noises. He hides as soon as there is noise in the hallway or when a person enters the room, but he comes out again once the situation becomes calm again. He is also afraid of being picked up. A calm environment, without agitation or too much traffic. A patient family who will be able to give him the time needed to adapt and gain confidence. Love, playtime and spaces where he can take refuge in peace. With humans: Very affectionate with people he knows, but he remains wary of strangers. With other animals: It would be preferable for Antoine to be adopted in a home without other animals of the same species. In his previous foster home, his persistent fear was probably related to the presence of other animals. Antoine is looking for a loving home where he can thrive in peace. 🍼 Date of birth: 01/01/2022🐶 Breed: European💡 Identified (no. 250 26 87 80 73 66 61), vaccinated, spayed📍 Location: 95✅ To adopt me, we will ask you for a contribution of 230 €.

Antoine est un chat très affectueux, parfois même collant, une fois qu’il est en confiance. Il adore jouer, mange avec appétit et dort paisiblement, souvent profondément. Très proche de sa famille d’accueil, il aime être câliné : dès que quelqu’un s’assoit, il vient se poser sur les genoux, et la nuit, il se blottit contre elle pour dormir.Malgré tout, Antoine est un chat sensible et craintif face aux inconnus ou aux bruits inattendus. Il se cache dès qu’il y a du bruit sur le palier ou lorsqu’une personne entre dans la pièce, mais il ressort une fois la situation redevenue calme. Il a également peur d’être pris dans les bras. Un environnement calme, sans agitation ni trop de passages.Une famille patiente qui saura lui offrir le temps nécessaire pour s’adapter et prendre confiance.De l’amour, des moments de jeu et des espaces où il pourra se réfugier en toute tranquillité. Avec les humains : Très câlin avec les personnes qu’il connaît, mais il reste méfiant envers les inconnus.Avec les autres animaux : Il serait préférable qu’Antoine soit adopté dans un foyer sans autres congénères. Chez sa précédente famille d’accueil, sa peur persistante était probablement liée à la présence d’autres animaux.Antoine recherche un foyer aimant où il pourra s’épanouir en toute sérénité. 🍼 Date de naissance : 01/01/2022🐶 Race : Européen💡 Identifiée ( n°250 26 87 80 73 66 61 ), vacciné, stérilisé📍 Localisation : 95✅ Pour m’adopter, nous vous demanderons une participation de 230 €.
