How do I contact the shelter about Benjen?

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

Can I adopt Benjen 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 Benjen 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 Benjen 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 Benjen 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.

Benjen

Male · Kitten · 5 months

Benjen, a timid but affectionate 5-month-old British Shorthair, is looking for a forever home. Once comfortable, he becomes a loving companion, enjoying cuddles, purring, and lounging on the bed. He would thrive in a calm environment and is a great fit for someone who works from home, enjoys reading, or seeks a close and affectionate cat. He is gentle, kind, and playful, but may not be suitable for young children due to his timid nature. He is identified, vaccinated, and dewormed, and will need to be spayed or neutered at the appropriate age.

𝑨̀ 𝒍’𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 : 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐉𝐄𝐍, 𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐄 𝐃’𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐄̀𝐒 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄 💕 Un peu timide au premier abord, Benjen a besoin d’un peu de temps pour prendre ses marques et se sentir en confiance. Mais une fois à l’aise, il devient une véritable boule d’amour ! 🥰 Il adore venir chercher des caresses sur les genoux, ronronner dans les bras et se prélasser tranquillement sur le lit. Un compagnon idéal pour une personne qui travaille à la maison, aime lire ou recherche simplement un petit chat proche et affectueux. ❤️ Doux, gentil et joueur, Benjen s’épanouira particulièrement dans un environnement calme. Un foyer composé d’une ou deux personnes lui conviendrait parfaitement. La présence d’un chat un peu plus âgé pourrait également être un plus, selon son caractère. Pour le moment, il ne montre pas d’envie de sortir : un appartement peut donc tout à fait lui convenir. Les enfants en bas âge seront à éviter, car il reste encore un peu timide. 📅 5 mois ✔️ Identifié ✔️ Vacciné ✔️ Déparasité ⚠️ Stérilisation à prévoir à l'âge requis ✔️ Très câlin une fois en confiance 💕 ✔️ Doux et joueur ✔️ Appartement possible 🏡 ⚠️ Environnement calme recommandé ⚠️ Enfants en bas âge à éviter ❓ Entente chats : un compagnon peut être un plus selon son caractère 🩺 Un petit souffle cardiaque a été détecté avant sa stérilisation. Un examen complémentaire sera à prévoir, même si celui-ci semble a priori sans gravité. 📍 En famille d’accueil sur l'Hopital-Camfrout

About Benjen

What life with Benjen looks like

Benjen 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.
