ASTOR

Male · Adult · 6 years

I arrived at the shelter after being found, and even though the beginnings were a bit daunting for me, I've made some wonderful discoveries since. One of my favorites? Petting! At first, I was shy, but I've learned to appreciate these moments of tenderness and intimacy with humans. I'm a bit of a special cat, which is why I'm eligible for the SOS adoption program. I carry FIV and my kidneys require special attention. To stay in good health, I receive a treatment and a specific diet that I'll need to follow throughout my life. Despite this, I fully enjoy my daily life and still have a lot of love to give. Unfortunately, cats with medical needs are often less noticed than others. Yet, I too deserve to find a family that will look beyond my veterinary file and discover the wonderful companion I am.

Je suis arrivé au refuge après avoir été trouvé, et même si les débuts ont été un peu impressionnants pour moi, j'ai fait de belles découvertes depuis. L'une de mes préférées ? Les caresses ! Au départ, j'étais timide, mais j'ai appris à apprécier ces moments de tendresse et de complicité avec les humains. Je suis un chat un peu particulier, ce qui me vaut d'être adopté sous le dispositif SOS. Je suis porteur du FIV et mes reins ont besoin d'une attention particulière. Pour rester en forme, je bénéficie d'un traitement et d'une alimentation spécifique que je devrai suivre tout au long de ma vie. Malgré cela, je profite pleinement de mon quotidien et j'ai encore énormément d'amour à offrir. Malheureusement, les chats ayant des besoins médicaux sont souvent moins remarqués que les autres. Pourtant, moi aussi je mérite de trouver une famille qui saura voir au-delà de mon dossier vétérinaire et découvrir le formidable compagnon que je suis.

About ASTOR

What life with ASTOR looks like

ASTOR is a adult cat waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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 ASTOR, answered.

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