How do I contact the shelter about Antonin?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Antonin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Antonin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Antonin 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 Antonin 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Antonin 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.

Antonin

European Shorthair · Male

Identification: 250269610366216 Physical characteristics: black cat with reddish highlights. Tested negative for FIV/FeLV, he is vaccinated and spayed. Character: Antonin has had a difficult life for several years. He has adapted very well to indoor life and no longer fears the movements of people near him. Once trust is gained, he will always be ready to receive cuddles and to take naps next to you all day or when you are working on the computer. He is very close to humans and knows how to make himself understood with small meows. He is playful when solicited and is an exceptional hunter of paper balls! He loves watching and looking out the window at birds. He is a loving and affectionate cat. History: found in the suburbs at a feeding point. Due to his advanced age and calicivirus, he will remain in his foster family until the end. We need your support for veterinary costs and for his food.

Identifiécation : 250269610366216 Caractéristiques physiques : chat noir aux reflets roux. Testé négatif Fiv/FeLV, il est vacciné et stérilisé. Caractère : Antonin a connu une vie difficile pendant plusieurs années. Il s’est très bien adapté à la vie en intérieur et n’a désormais plus peur des mouvements des humains proches de lui. La confiance venue, il sera toujours prêt à recevoir des câlins et à faire la sieste près de vous à longueur de journée ou quand vous travaillez sur l’ordinateur. Il est très proche de l’humain et sait se faire comprendre par de petits miaulements. Il est joueur quand on le sollicile et c’est un chasseur de boules de papier hors pair ! Il adore surveiller et regarder par la fenêtre les oiseaux. C’est un chat affectueux et câlin. Histoire : trouvé en banlieue sur un point de nourrissage. En raison de son âge avancé et de son calicivirus, il restera dans sa famille d’accueil jusqu’au bout. Nous avons besoin de votre soutien pour les frais vétérinaires et pour sa nourriture.
