Berlioz

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

This beautiful cat, around 5 years old, was found wandering, hungry and dehydrated, in the middle of the first heatwave of May. He is very gentle, a bit shy, curious and very eager to connect with humans as soon as he is trusted. Very fond of food, he is on the lookout for the slightest piece of bread! He will need a very calm environment and a lot of attention from his adopter (retired, telework...). A flat with a secure balcony would be ideal. He can live with another cat, non-dominant. Dewormed, sterilized, identified and tested FIV/FELV negative. Vaccines in progress.

Ce très beau chat, d’environ 5 ans, a été trouvé errant, affamé et déshydraté, en plein milieu de la 1ere canicule de mai. Il est très doux, un peu timide, curieux et en grande demande de connexion avec les humains dès qu’il est mis en confiance. Très gourmand, il est à l’affût du moindre bout de pain ! Il lui faudra un environnement très calme et beaucoup d’attention de la part de son adoptant (retraité, télétravail…). Un appartement avec balcon sécurisé serait l’idéal. Il pourra vivre avec un autre chat, non dominant. Déparasité, stérilisé, identifié et dépisté FIV/FELV négatifs. Vaccins en cours.

About Berlioz

What life with Berlioz looks like

Berlioz is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at La Voie Féline in la voie feline.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Berlioz, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Berlioz?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. La Voie Féline handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Berlioz on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Berlioz if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — La Voie Féline 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Berlioz 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 Berlioz 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 Voie Féline early rather than rehoming privately; they know Berlioz 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.
