How do I contact the shelter about Balan?

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

Can I adopt Balan if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — La Patte sur le Cœur BZH 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 Balan 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 Balan 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 La Patte sur le Cœur BZH early rather than rehoming privately; they know Balan 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.

Balan

Male · Kitten · 4 months

Balan is a 4-month-old male cat who is calm and reserved. He is still distant and will need time to adjust to feel fully confident in his new home. Despite his reserve, he accepts cuddles, although he does not particularly enjoy being carried. Balan is looking for a calm and patient family, or could be a good fit for a single person. An environment without young children would be best for him, to respect his quiet temperament and avoid too much excitement. He is sociable with other cats and also knows dogs. Balan is up-to-date on all vaccinations, deworming, and is microchipped. He is also spayed/neutered. He is currently in foster care in Le Tréhou.

About Balan

What life with Balan looks like

Balan is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at La Patte sur le Cœur BZH in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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.
