BUTTERFLY

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Butterfly arrived at the shelter with her sister Bluebell after being abandoned. Bluebell and Butterfly are very close, they love to play, explore and snuggle together. Curious, affectionate and full of life but also gentle, they will bring a lot of happiness to their future family. We would like to find them a caring home where they will be pampered and considered as full members of the family. Adopting them together in the same household would be a real joy for them. If you want to offer a life filled with love to our two little wonders, please contact us to learn more.

Butterfly est arrivée au refuge avec sa soeur Bluebell suite à un abandon. Bluebell et Butterfly sont très complices, elles aiment jouer, explorer et se blottir l’une contre l’autre. Curieuses, affectueuses et pleines de vie mais aussi de douceur, elles apporteront beaucoup de bonheur à leur future famille. Nous aimerions leur trouver un foyer bienveillant où elles seront choyées et considérées comme des membres à part entière de la famille. Une adoption ensemble au sein d’un même foyer serait un vrai bonheur pour elles. Si vous souhaitez offrir une vie remplie d’amour à nos deux petites merveilles, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour en savoir plus.

About BUTTERFLY

What life with BUTTERFLY looks like

BUTTERFLY 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 BUTTERFLY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BUTTERFLY?
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 BUTTERFLY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BUTTERFLY 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 BUTTERFLY 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 BUTTERFLY 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 BUTTERFLY 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.
