About ARCHIBALD
What life with ARCHIBALD looks like
ARCHIBALD is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Refuge Thiernay 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 โ every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.
๐ซ๐ทAdopting 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 โฌ150โโฌ300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked
Adopting ARCHIBALD, answered.
- How do I contact the shelter about ARCHIBALD?
- Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Thiernay handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ARCHIBALD on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
- Can I adopt ARCHIBALD if I live in another country?
- Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ Refuge Thiernay 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 โฌ100โโฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
- Is ARCHIBALD 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 โ ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
- What happens if ARCHIBALD isn't the right fit?
- Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Refuge Thiernay early rather than rehoming privately; they know ARCHIBALD 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 โ 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.
