How do I contact the shelter about Caramel?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Caramel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Caramel if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Caramel 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 Caramel 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Caramel 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.

Adopt Caramel

Persian · Male · Senior · 16 years

Age: born on 25/05/2010 Identification: 250 269 500 367 927 Physical characteristics: Caramel is an absolutely magnificent papi cat, with amber eyes that will melt your heart. Neutered, microchipped, FIV/Felv tested negative, and vaccinated. Caramel has some mobility issues, a clear fragility in his eyes (numerous recurrences of corneal ulcers), and suffers from hypertension. He is treated for all of this, but will need regular follow-up. Character: Caramel is a small papi Persian cat who adores cuddling moments and will demand them all day long! Very curious by nature, he will follow you in all your indoor activities and will come to sniff anything you can put in your hands. He will love to sit by the window to feel the fresh air, but will never stick a paw out in the cold, he is a bit precious! Caramel is a very gentle and calm cat who will adore resting on your chest or sleeping at your feet (however, he does not appreciate being carried). He is a very greedy cat who will not hesitate to let you know when he wants a treat! He is talkative for treats and caresses! Despite his calmness, he will have little daily desires to play, especially with a cane or a string, but will never scratch or bite. A bit shy, he will need time to reveal himself and will just need to be reassured. Caramel is a little cat full of love who needs company and presence every day, with a daily brushing that he adores (otherwise, live with the shedding…!!). In short, Caramel is a wonderful companion every day! History: lived alone for many weeks in an apartment, almost abandoned after his former owner's departure to the hospital. Ideal placement: in a loving, calm home with presence and without another cat. Coordinates: Caramel is visible in foster care in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. Contact Karine after 20:00 or on weekends by phone, email, or web form.

About Caramel

What life with Caramel looks like

Caramel is a small senior persian cat waiting at Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 in Paris.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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.
