How do I contact the shelter about BANDIT?

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 BANDIT on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BANDIT 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 BANDIT 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 BANDIT 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 BANDIT 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.

BANDIT

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Bandit - 3 years old, Bandit is also part of the small group of cats rescued during this operation, after several years of a fairly free life, sometimes at the mercy of wandering. He is a sociable, calm and very greedy little guy who enjoys human company while also loving his moments of tranquility. He will therefore enjoy cuddles, but also his little corners when he feels the need. To be fully fulfilled, Bandit will need access to the outside once perfectly accustomed to his new home. His years of wandering have unfortunately left some scars: Bandit has tested positive for FIV. This does not prevent him from enjoying life or being able to build a beautiful relationship with his future family. The shelter can of course answer all questions about FIV and accompany adopters. Bandit will benefit from a reduced adoption fee. ✨ After having lived at the mercy of circumstances for a long time, Bandit now deserves a stable, gentle and reassuring home, where he can finally put down his suitcases for good. 🐾

Bandit – 3 ans, Bandit fait lui aussi partie du petit groupe de chats pris en charge lors de ce sauvetage, après plusieurs années passées dans une vie assez libre, parfois au gré de l’errance. C’est un petit gars sociable, calme et très gourmand, qui apprécie la présence de l’humain tout en aimant aussi avoir ses moments de tranquillité. Il saura donc profiter des câlins, mais également de ses petits coins à lui lorsqu’il en ressentira le besoin. Pour être pleinement épanoui, Bandit aura besoin d’un accès à l’extérieur une fois parfaitement habitué à son nouveau foyer. Ses années d’errance ont malheureusement laissé quelques traces : Bandit a été testé positif au FIV. Cela ne l’empêche pas pour autant de profiter de la vie ni de pouvoir construire une belle relation avec sa future famille. Le refuge pourra bien sûr répondre à toutes les questions concernant le FIV et accompagner les adoptants. Bandit bénéficiera d’un tarif d’adoption réduit. ✨ Après avoir longtemps vécu au gré des circonstances, Bandit mérite maintenant un foyer stable, doux et rassurant, où il pourra enfin poser ses valises pour de bon. 🐾 Bandit fait lui aussi partie du petit groupe de chats pris en charge lors de ce sauvetage, après plusieurs années passées dans une vie assez libre, parfois au gré de l’errance.

About BANDIT

What life with BANDIT looks like

BANDIT is a 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.
