How do I contact the shelter about Bouchon?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. S.P.A. du 47 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bouchon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bouchon if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — S.P.A. du 47 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 Bouchon 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 Bouchon 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 S.P.A. du 47 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bouchon 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.

Bouchon

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Bouchon is a European male cat born on January 1, 2018. He entered the shelter on February 10, 2026, transferred from the Chats Libres de Condom association (arrived with Amaya, Garfield, Caillou, Baghera, and Nala). His identification number is 250269610610618973. Bouchon has tested negative for FIV/FeLV and is spayed. Bouchon is a discreet and reserved cat who prefers to observe from his cat tree. He likes to feel safe in his little corner and will need time and patience to gain confidence in his new environment. What makes Bouchon unique is that once he is reassured and comfortable, he becomes affectionate and enjoys petting. However, he has a strong personality: he likes moments of tenderness but does not particularly appreciate being carried. He is very food-motivated, so food can be a great way to gradually gain his trust. Before arriving at the shelter, Bouchon was part of a group of cats cared for by the Chats Libres de Condom association after an intervention related to a Noah's Ark situation. He has always lived surrounded by other cats and will need the presence of another cat in his future home. Access to the outdoors will also be necessary for his well-being. Bouchon knows what he wants and what he doesn't want, and he will let you know if you don't listen to him! Bouchon is compatible with cats (presence of a companion necessary).

Il aime se sentir en sécurité dans son petit coin et aura besoin de temps et de patience pour prendre confiance dans son nouvel environnement. Ce qui rend Bouchon unique Une fois rassuré et à l’aise, Bouchon se montre plutôt affectueux et apprécie les caresses. Il a cependant son petit caractère : il aime les moments de tendresse mais n’apprécie pas particulièrement être porté. Très gourmand, la nourriture pourra être un excellent moyen de gagner progressivement sa confiance. Besoins et préférences Avant d’arriver au refuge, Bouchon faisait partie d’un groupe de chats pris en charge par l’association des Chats Libres de Condom, après une intervention liée à une situation de syndrome de Noé. Il a toujours vécu entouré de congénères et aura besoin de la présence d’un autre chat dans sa future maison. Un accès à l’extérieur sera également nécessaire pour son équilibre. Bouchon sait ce qu’il veut et ce qui ne veut pas, et il saura le faire savoir si on ne l’écoute pas! Ententes Bouchon est OK chats (présence d’un congénère nécessaire

About Bouchon

What life with Bouchon looks like

Bouchon is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at S.P.A. du 47 in France.

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
