August

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

August has known violence, hunger and abandonment… Today, this big baby is slowly learning to feel loved again. ❤️ In Crécy-la-Chapelle (77), he is waiting for a calm, patient home where he can settle his paws, for life. Born on 01/01/2025 Identification: 345 JEX Big baby August, Your start in life was far from easy before we crossed paths. We have pieced together a few fragments of your story: you lived with a man in a context of drug use and instability, with acquaintances who squatted in the home and subjected you to violence. You also knew hunger when he would disappear for several days, and then abandonment when he lost his home. He left you with your toys and your box at one of our feeding sites near Meaux. At first you were frozen with fear, but you never tried to run away, only to hide and make the most of the food left out for you each day. Above all, you were completely lost and bewildered, because even though your past life was truly

August a connu la violence, la faim et l’abandon… Aujourd’hui, ce grand bébé réapprend doucement à se sentir aimé. ❤️ À Crécy-la-Chapelle (77), il attend un foyer calme et patient où poser ses pattounes, pour la vie. Né le 01/01/2025 Identification : 345 JEX Grand bébé August, Ton démarrage dans la vie n'a pas été des plus simples avant que l'on croise ta route. On a pu avoir quelques bribes de ton histoire, tu vivais avec un homme dans un contexte de drogue, d'instabilité avec des connaissances qui squattaient et te faisaient subir des violences, tu as aussi connu la faim lorsqu'il partait plusieurs jours puis l'abandon lorsqu'il a perdu son domicile, il t'a déposé avec tes jouets, ta boîte sur un de nos sites de nourrissage proche de Meaux. Au départ, tu étais tétanisé mais tu n'as pas cherché à t'échapper, juste à te cacher et à profiter de la nourriture qui était déposée chaque jour. Tu étais surtout complètement paumé, dans l'incompréhension car même si ta vie passée n'était vraim

About August

What life with August looks like

August is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Orfélins in orfelins.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting August, answered.

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