Arnold

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 8 months

Identified, vaccinated, spayed, FIV/FELV tests negative 🐶 good with dogs, unknowns 👨‍👩‍👧 OK with calm and respectful children 🌲 outdoor access not mandatory but recommended in foster family at Les Champs-Géraux (22). We recovered Arnold with 3 other kittens from a breeding site where we have been intervening for more than a year and a half. A very wild cat is still on site and despite our efforts we have not yet been able to catch her. We were only able to take the kittens to safety. Arnold and his brother Alaska quickly proved to be more comfortable and affectionate than the other kittens, and also larger. A veterinary examination confirmed that they were a bit older. We suspect they were left by neighbors and joined the kittens already on site. Arnold is a very social and affectionate kitten. He will just need a little time to feel confident with people he doesn't know. From his arrival in his foster family, he tried to climb the volunteers to be picked up and get cuddles. He is also a playful, curious, and energetic kitten. He will need the presence of a fellow animal of the same species. Adoption fee: 180€ Adoption process to follow (questionnaire, meeting with the kitten, home visit) adoption in Dinan (22) and within 50km. Adoption request form:

identifié, vacciné, castré tests FIV/FELV négatifs 🐶 ententes chiens non connues 👨‍👩‍👧 Ok enfants calmes et respectueux 🌲 accès à l'extérieur pas obligatoire mais recommandé en famille d'accueil à Les Champs-Géraux (22) Nous avons récupéré Arnold avec 3 autres chatons sur un site de prolifération où nous intervenons depuis maintenant plus d'un an et demi. Une chatte, très sauvage, est encore sur place et malgré nos efforts nous n'avons pas encore pu l'attraper. Nous avons seulement pu mettre les chatons à l'abri. Arnold et son frère Alaska se sont révélés rapidement plus à l'aise et câlins que les autres chatons, et également plus grands. Un examen vétérinaire a confirmé qu'ils devaient être un peu plus âgés. Nous soupçonnons qu'ils ont été déposés là par des riverains et ont rejoint les chatons déjà sur place. Arnold est un chaton très sociable et affectueux. Il lui faudra juste un petit temps pour se sentir en confiance avec les personnes qu'il ne connaît pas. Dès son arrivée dans sa famille d'accueil, il a cherché à escalader les bénévoles pour être pris dans les bras et avoir des câlins. C'est aussi un chaton joueur, curieux et tonique. Il aura besoin de la présence d'un congénère. Frais d'adoption : 180€ Processus d'adoption à suivre (questionnaire, rencontre avec le chat, visite du domicile) adoption sur Dinan (22) et 50km autour Formulaire de demande d'adoption :

About Arnold

What life with Arnold looks like

Arnold is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Assistance Animaux en Détresse in assistance animaux en detresse.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷Adopting 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 €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Arnold, answered.

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