Café

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Café arrived at the shelter after being abandoned by her owner, who unfortunately left her behind. This situation has forced her to lose her bearings and find a new home. She is a cat who has known family life and is now looking for a stable and reassuring environment. Café is initially a shy cat, but she becomes sociable and affectionate once she gets to know the people around her. She will need a little time, patience, and gentleness to feel fully confident. Café has always lived indoors and will therefore be perfectly at ease in a home without access to the outside. Today, she is looking for a calm and caring family, able to offer her security, stability, and affection. With time and a reassuring environment, Café will be able to regain her confidence and enjoy a new life serenely, ideally alongside her sister Pépé.

Café est arrivée au refuge après l’expulsion de son maître, qui l’a malheureusement laissée sur place. Cette situation l’a contrainte à perdre ses repères et à devoir trouver un nouveau foyer. C’est une chatte qui a connu la vie de famille et qui recherche aujourd’hui un environnement stable et rassurant. Café est une chatte timide au premier abord, mais elle devient sociable et affectueuse une fois qu’elle connaît les personnes qui l’entourent. Elle aura besoin d’un peu de temps, de patience et de douceur pour se sentir pleinement en confiance. Contrairement à ce que nous pensions à son arrivée, Café ne s’entend pas avec les autres chats, y compris avec sa sœur Pépé. Après une première adoption, elle est malheureusement revenue au refuge, car la cohabitation avec les autres chats du foyer ne s’est pas bien passée. Elle devra donc être le seul chat de la famille. Café a toujours vécu en intérieur et sera donc parfaitement à l’aise dans un foyer sans accès à l’extérieur.

About Café

What life with Café looks like

Café is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Café, answered.

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