How do I contact the shelter about Billy?

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

Can I adopt Billy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perwez) 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 Billy 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 Billy 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 Perwez) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Billy 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.

Billy

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Billy lived as a stray wandering on a field before being taken in by our shelter, to be made safe and accompanied toward a more tranquil life. He is a very fearful cat who will need time, patience, and gentleness to learn to trust and evolve at his own pace. In a calm and respectful environment, he will gradually gain in serenity. As for his interactions, they are not yet known with other animals. Therefore, introductions must be made gradually and with caution. Regarding his health, Billy is a carrier of Feline AIDS. He must therefore live exclusively indoors to preserve his health and well-being. Billy is seeking a calm and experienced family that can offer him the security, respect, and stability he needs. In return, he can gradually become more at ease and discover trust in a home adapted to his pace.
