Calypso

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Calypso arrived from a pound, and thus, his past remains unknown to us. Calypso is a bit wary of humans but will become affectionate and endearing with time. He just needs to relax. He is calm and gentle. He is in SOS because he tested FIV POSITIVE (cat AIDS). We are looking for a home without outdoor access and without other cats or carriers also FIV+. He can live with respectful children. (We remind you that a signed and dated commitment and awareness certificate, along with all household members being present, is required for adopting a kitten)

FR·Show original

Calypso est arrivé de fourrière, son passé nous reste donc inconnu. Calypso se montre un peu méfiant envers l'humain mais avec du temps, il se montrera câlin et attachant. Il a juste besoin de se détendre. Il est calme et doux. Il est en SOS car il a été testé FIV POSITIF (sida du chat). Nous lui recherchons un foyer sans extérieur et sans autres chats ou porteurs eux aussi du FIV +. Il pourra vivre avec des enfants respectueux. (Nous vous rappelons que le certificat d'engagement et de connaissance daté et signé de 7 jours est obligatoire ainsi que toutes les personnes du foyer soient présentes pour pouvoir adopter un minou)

About Calypso

What life with Calypso looks like

Calypso is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Amiens) in Poulainville.

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

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 Calypso, answered.

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