Adopt Auburn

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

CAT Auburn – Little adventurous energetic girl 🔥 Auburn is really brave! Always on the move, she loves playing both with her foster family and her brother Arribas. She is a little ball of energy, lively, curious and affectionate. 🎉😺 When it comes to cuddles, Auburn used to prefer keeping her distance and making you wait... except when it's time to eat, where her greed makes her much more approachable! 🍽️💛 However, thanks to the patience and kindness of her foster family, she now accepts petting, even if it has to be at her own pace, gently and respecting her comfort. 🥰 Her bond with her brother is very strong: they play together, constantly seek each other and often sleep next to each other. Their closeness is such that a joint adoption with Arribas is preferable for their well-being. Auburn will at minimum need a home where another cat is present. 🤎🐾 ✨ Auburn is also OK with children and dogs, provided they respect her pace and shyness.

🐱 Auburn – Petite aventurière pleine d’énergie 🔥 Auburn est une vraie téméraire ! Toujours en mouvement, elle adore jouer aussi bien avec sa famille d’accueil qu’avec son frère Arribas. C’est une petite boule d’énergie, vive, curieuse et attachante. 🎉😺 Côté câlins, Auburn a longtemps préféré garder ses distances et se laisser désirer… sauf quand il est l’heure de manger, où sa gourmandise la rend bien plus accessible ! 🍽️💛 Cependant, grâce à la patience et la douceur de sa famille d’accueil, elle accepte désormais les caresses, même si cela doit se faire à son rythme, avec délicatesse et respect de son confort. 🥰 Son lien avec son frère est très fort : ils jouent ensemble, se cherchent constamment et dorment souvent l’un contre l’autre. Leur complicité est telle qu'une double adoption avec Arribas est préférable pour leur bien-être. Auburn devra à minima bénéficier d'un foyer dans lequel un autre chat est présent. 🤎🐾 ✨ Auburn est également OK enfants et chiens, à condition que ceux-ci respectent son rythme et sa timidité.

About Auburn

What life with Auburn looks like

Auburn is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at AniMeaux in Meaux.

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 Auburn, answered.

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