Boris

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Boris, sweetness from Ukraine, arrived from Ukraine, where he had to leave his previous environment to start a new life. He is an extremely charming cat, very easy to handle on a daily basis. He loves being petted and cuddled, and will come to ask for it himself without hesitation. Very close to humans, he willingly sits on laps and is easily handled: a true little teddy bear, soft and confident. Boris also enjoys observing the world from the edge of a window, curious and calm, before heading out to explore and play when he gets the chance. Social, he also needs the presence of another cat to feel fully reassured and thrive in his environment.

Boris, douceur venue d’Ukraine Boris est arrivé d’Ukraine, où il a dû quitter son ancien environnement pour commencer une nouvelle vie. C’est un chat extrêmement attachant, très facile au quotidien. Il adore les caresses et les câlins, qu’il vient lui-même réclamer sans hésiter. Très proche de l’humain, il se laisse volontiers prendre sur les genoux et manipuler sans difficulté : un vrai petit nounours, doux et confiant. Boris aime aussi observer le monde depuis le bord d’une fenêtre, curieux et calme, avant de partir explorer et gambader quand il en a l’occasion. Sociable, il a également besoin de la présence d’un autre chat pour se sentir pleinement rassuré et s’épanouir dans son environnement. Une boule de poils tendre, simple et profondément affectueuse, qui ne demande qu’un foyer pour écrire la suite de son histoire Transfert d'une association ukrainienne

About Boris

What life with Boris looks like

Boris is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Noé Brest in France.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Boris, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Boris?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche de Noé Brest handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Boris on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Boris if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arche de Noé Brest 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 Boris already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs 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 Boris 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 Arche de Noé Brest early rather than rehoming privately; they know Boris 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.
