Arthus

Mixed Breed · Male

Arthur is a chinchilla who was abandoned because his owners could no longer care for him. He is a male about 2 years old. He was in a cage that was not suitable for a chinchilla's normal living conditions. Arthur is really cute... so gentle! First of all, a chinchilla is not meant to live alone. For his psychological and social well-being, he must share his life with another chinchilla. He is a gentle and calm animal. Two males can live together but with strict conditions. We are looking for living conditions suitable for Arthur's well-being: a very large secure cage, specific food, and a sand bath that preserves his health and coat. A chinchilla must live with another chinchilla, but he is not compatible with another animal, such as a rabbit or guinea pig. In foster care with Isa, contact only by email at . Describe your environment and give a phone number to contact.

Arthus est un chinchilla arrivé en abandon car ses propriétaires ne pouvaient plus s'en occuper. C'est un mâle d'environ 2 ans. Il était dans une cage inadaptée aux conditions de vie normale d'un chinchilla. Arthus est vraiment tout mignon... d'une douceur! Tout d'abord, un chinchilla n'est pas fait pour vivre seul. Pour son bien-être psychologique et social, il doit partager sa vie avec un autre congénère. C'est un animal doux et calme. 2 mâles peuvent vivre ensemble mais avec des conditions strictes. Nous recherchons pour Arthus, des conditions de vie adaptée à son bien-être : très grande cage sécurisée, une nourriture spécifique et un bain de sable qui préserve sa santé et son pelage. Un chinchilla doit vivre avec un autre congénère, par contre, il n'est pas compatible avec un autre animal, tel un lapin ou un cochon d'Inde.

About Arthus

What life with Arthus looks like

Arthus is a extra-large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Refuge Animalier du Pays de Landerneau 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Arthus, answered.

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