How do I contact the shelter about Balzac?

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

Can I adopt Balzac if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Adopte Un Matou 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 Balzac 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 Balzac 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 Adopte Un Matou early rather than rehoming privately; they know Balzac 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.

Balzac

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 6 months

Balzac: A true bundle of love, play and purrs. Balzac is an adorable three-month-old kitten who lives life to the fullest! Very playful, very affectionate and overflowing with curiosity, he's always up for a cuddle session. Or a new adventure! Extremely sociable, he's not at all fearful of humans and adapts impressively quickly to new environments. As soon as he arrives somewhere, he explores, observes and quickly takes his bearings with confidence. He's also a great communicator. He doesn't hesitate to make his voice heard to express his desires, ask for a caress or invite his human to share a moment of play. With him, it's impossible to get bored! But behind this little explorer's energy is also a true champion of cuddles. After his adventures, Balzac loves to snuggle up against a human, settle on your lap or close by for a nap together, lulled by his purrs. Balzac gets along with other cats. If you're looking for a companion who is close to humans, playful, tender and full of life, Balzac is the kitten you need. He will fill your daily life with sweetness, fun and affection. Balzac can be seen in Paris 5th under the Adopte un Matou association. He's available for adoption: identified (microchip), first vaccinated (typhus/coryza) and dewormed (worms/fleas). His sterilization is mandatory from 6 months old (non-negotiable clause of the adoption contract). Adoption fee: €180. Placement followed. The exteriors (windows, balconies...) of his future home must be secured to prevent a kitten/cat from escaping or falling (we eliminate all requests that do not meet this condition).

About Balzac

What life with Balzac looks like

Balzac is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Adopte Un Matou in Maurecourt.

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.
