How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?

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

Can I adopt Bobby if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Thalya Protection 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 Bobby 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 Bobby 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 Association Thalya Protection early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bobby 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.

Adopt Bobby

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 3 months

Bobby was found in the barn of our veterinarian partner clinic with his brothers and their mom. The veterinarians suspect that the mom was thrown there, as they had never seen her before and she sought refuge in the warm hay of the barn to protect her little ones. Character: When arriving, Bobby and his brothers were completely petrified with the human, very timid or even wild, they gradually got used to humans with patience and attempts at cuddles. Bobby eventually understood that no harm was intended and slowly accepted being looked at without spitting, being gently touched when his back was turned, then touched, and finally fully caressed! The purring replaced the spitting! Bobby is not at all aggressive, even though he is still a bit wary when he doesn't know, this little guy has a well-toughened character, he’s the most clingy of them all! Bobby and his brothers are currently in foster care with cats, dogs, and children.

Bobby a été trouvé dans la grange de notre clinique vétérinaire partenaire avec ses frères et leur maman. Les vétérinaires supposent que la mère ait été jété là, car ils ne l'avaient jamais vu avant et qu'elle s'est réfugié au chaud dans le foin de la grange pour protéger ses petits. Caractère : En arrivant, Bobby et ses frères étaient tétanisés avec l'homme, de très timides voir sauvages , ils se sont petit à petit habitués à l'homme, à force de patience et de tentative de câlins.. Bobby a fini par comprendre qu’on ne lui voulait que du bien et a accepté petit à petit de se faire regarder sans cracher, effleurer quand il avait le dos tourné, puis touchés et enfin carrément caressé ! Le ronron a remplacé les crachements ! Bobby n'est pas du tout agressif, même s'il est encore un peu craintifs quand il ne connait pas , ce petit loulou a un caractère bien trempé , c’est le plus pot de colle de tous ! Bobby et ses frères sont actuellement en famille d'accueil avec chats, chiens, et enfants.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Association Thalya Protection 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.
