Adopt Atchoum

European Shorthair · Male

Past: found stray baby My character: calm; well-behaved; needs another companion; very good hunter. Garden, companion, person present mandatory Atchoum is in foster care, he is not present at the shelter, so you must contact the shelter to make an appointment at the shelter for an appointment. Good evening, I am the young Atchoum. I am a calm cat who needs a little boyfriend to develop better and feel good. I am looking for a quiet family in a house or ground floor. I am not used to young children and could get scared if chased, I would hide and be too frightened. I need to live with other cool, playful, friendly cats. Every day it's the same routine. In the morning, I lie on my back and give big cuddles. Then eat and play with all my friends, nap after 1 pm, eat and play and in the evening, sleep on my foster family's bed, surrounded by all the love. I get along well with my whole cat pack, I feel protected by them and love to play with all those who accept or even alone with my mouse by putting myself in hunting situations. When trust is established, I am a cat who allows petting and obeys the call especially if there is a treat at the end and I am crazy about catnip spray. So yes, I am in foster care, but I need MY home, MY family and let's also think practical, if I leave, my place will be taken by another dog in need. House without dogs, nor very small. Placement with a companion. Cat in temporary foster care to avoid shelter conditions, to socialize him while looking for an adopter.

Passé: trouvé errant bébé Mon caractère : paisible ; sage ; besoin d’un autre compagnon de vie ; très bon chasseur . Jardin, compagnon, personne présente obligatoire Atchoum est en fa relais, il n’est pas présent au refuge, il faut donc contacter le refuge pour avoir un rdv dans le refuge pour un rdv. Bonsoir moi je suis le jeune Atchoum. Je suis un chat paisible ayant besoin d’un petit copain pour mieux m’épanouir et me sentir bien. Je recherche une famille calme en maison ou rez de jardin. Je ne suis pas habitué aux jeunes enfants et pourrais prendre peur si on me court après, je me cacherais et serais trop effrayé. J’ai besoin de vivre avec d’autres chats cools, joueurs, sympas. Tous les jours, c’est le même rituel. Le matin, je me met sur le dos et fait de gros câlins. Ensuite, manger et jeux avec tous mes copains, sieste après 13h, manger et jeux et le soir, dodo sur le lit de ma famille d’accueil , entouré de tout l’amour. Je m’entend bien avec toute ma meute de chats, je me sens protégé par eux et adore jouer avec tous ceux qui acceptent ou bien tout seul avec ma souris en me mettant en situation de chasse. Quand la confiance s’installe, je suis un chat qui se laisse caresser et obéit à l’appel surtout si il y a une petite gourmandise au bout et je suis fou du spray herbes à chat. Alors oui , je suis en fa relais, mais j’ai besoin de MON chez moi, de MA famille à moi et pensons aussi pratique, si je pars, ma place sera prise par un autre loulous en besoin. Maison sans chien, ni tout petit. Placement avec un copain . Chat en famille d’accueil provisoire pour éviter les conditions du refuge, le sociabiliser le temps de lui trouver un adoptant.

About Atchoum

What life with Atchoum looks like

Atchoum is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA de l 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 Atchoum, answered.

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