How do I contact the shelter about AUTOMNE?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Angoumois handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw AUTOMNE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt AUTOMNE if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Angoumois 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 AUTOMNE 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 AUTOMNE 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 Refuge Angoumois early rather than rehoming privately; they know AUTOMNE 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.

Adopt AUTOMNE

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

AUTOMNE is in foster care with his siblings (Storm, Sunshine, Rose, and Winter). When they arrived at the shelter, this litter was terrified. Thanks to the kindness and patience of their foster family, they have made tremendous progress and are becoming more and more comfortable with humans. AUTOMNE is a small male who is very affectionate, he adores cuddles, kisses, and being scratched, and it's Mr. AUTOMNE who decides when it's enough! If you don't give him attention, he will come to you to bite and lick your finger to make you continue. He is extremely gentle and will be the first to come to you for a cuddle in case of a big upset! He needs to play and be stimulated during his days. He loves being around other cats. The presence of another cat in the household or a double adoption with one of his siblings is strongly recommended. All cats must remain indoors in the house/apartment for at least 6 weeks before being allowed to go outside, even if they are demanding. They need to have the chance to explore the home and mark it sufficiently (with their pheromones) to understand that it is their home and to be able to find their way back. This period can be extended if the cat is not yet comfortable within the household.

Automne est en famille d’accueil avec ses frères et sœurs (Storm, Sunshine, Rose et Winter). Arrivée au refuge, cette fratrie était terrifiée. Grâce à la douceur et à la patience de leur famille d’accueil, ils ont fait énormément de progrès et sont de plus en plus proches de l’humain. Automne est un petit mâle très très pot de colle, il adore les câlins, les bisous, les gratouilles et c’est Monsieur qui choisit quand cela s’arrête ! Si vous ne lui donnez pas d’attention, il viendra vous mordiller et vous lécher le doigt pour que vous continuiez. Il est d’une très grande gentillesse et il sera le premier à venir vous câliner en cas de gros chagrin ! Il a besoin de jouer, d’être stimulé pendant ses journées. Il aime être entouré d’autres chats. La présence d’un autre chat dans le foyer ou une double adoption avec un ou une de ses frères et sœurs est fortement conseillée. Tout chat doit rester à l’intérieur de la maison/l’appartement pendant au moins 6 semaines avant de pouvoir sortir dehors, même s’il réclame. Il doit avoir eu le temps de faire le tour du foyer, et de le marquer suffisamment (avec ses phéromones) pour comprendre que c’est son foyer et arriver à le retrouver. Ce délai peut être rallongé si le chat n’est pas encore à l’aise au sein du foyer. Automne est en famille d’accueil avec ses frères et sœurs (Storm, Sunshine, Rose et Winter).

About AUTOMNE

What life with AUTOMNE looks like

AUTOMNE is a extra-large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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.
