BOUT’CHOU

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 2 months

Bout'chou - almost 3 months old, Boutchou is a lovely little boy currently in foster care with his brothers Bandit, Baloo, and Buzz. He is the smallest of the group! And even though he is growing slowly, he still has that adorable baby face that everyone loves. Curious, playful, and cuddly, Boutchou is enjoying his life in foster care. He also has a bit of a gossipy side: he loves to sit in front of the window to watch everything that happens outside! Boutchou also gets along very well with the dogs in his foster family. Boutchou must stay indoors until he is spayed/neutered. This is mandatory at 6 months old for any cat adopted from the shelter and is the responsibility of the adopter.

FR·Show original

Bout’chou – bientôt 3mois, Boutchou est un adorable petit gars actuellement en famille d’accueil avec ses frères Bandit, Baloo et Buzz. C’est la petite crevette de la bande ! Et même s’il grandit doucement, il garde toujours cette adorable bouille de bébé qui fait craquer tout le monde. Curieux, joueur et câlin, Boutchou profite pleinement de sa vie en famille d’accueil. Il a aussi un petit côté commère : il adore s’installer devant la fenêtre pour observer attentivement tout ce qui se passe dehors ! Boutchou côtoie également les chiens de sa famille d’accueil et s’entend très bien avec eux. Boutchou devra impérativement rester en intérieur jusqu’à sa stérilisation. Celle-ci est obligatoire à l’âge de 6 mois pour tout chaton adopté au refuge et reste à la charge de l’adoptant.

About BOUT’CHOU

What life with BOUT’CHOU looks like

BOUT’CHOU is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting BOUT’CHOU, answered.

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