Atlas

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Atlas arrived at the shelter following the death of his owner. After several days spent alone in the home, 12 cats were discovered left to fend for themselves—before being taken into care and welcomed at the shelter. It’s a difficult story for these little creatures, who overnight lost their home and all their familiar surroundings... Atlas is an adorable, calm, and gentle cat. A bit shy when he doesn’t yet know you, he takes his time observing and building trust. But once he feels safe and secure, he loves being petted and proves to be very sociable. And like many little foodies, he’ll surely let himself be won over with a few delicious treats! Atlas can live with other FIV-positive cats and with respectful children who are willing to give him the time he needs to adjust and respect his moments of peace and quiet. For his safety, Atlas must live exclusively indoors and should never have access to the outdoors.

Atlas est arrivé au refuge suite au décès de son propriétaire. Après plusieurs jours seuls dans le logement, 12 chats ont été découverts livrés à eux-mêmes, avant d’être pris en charge et accueillis au refuge. Une histoire difficile pour ces petits êtres qui ont perdu, du jour au lendemain, leur foyer et leurs repères… Atlas est un adorable chat calme et doux. Un peu timide lorsqu’il ne connaît pas encore, il prend le temps d’observer et de faire confiance. Mais une fois rassuré, il apprécie les caresses et se montre très sociable. Et comme beaucoup de petits gourmands, il saura certainement se laisser apprivoiser autour de quelques délicieuses friandises ! Atlas pourra vivre avec d’autres chats FIV+ et avec des enfants respectueux, capables de lui laisser le temps de s’adapter et de respecter ses moments de tranquillité. Pour sa sécurité, Atlas devra vivre exclusivement en intérieur et ne devra pas avoir accès à l’extérieur.
