How do I contact the shelter about CASIOPE?

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 CASIOPE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt CASIOPE 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 CASIOPE 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 CASIOPE 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 CASIOPE 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.

CASIOPE

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Casiopé - 4 years old, Casiopé arrived at the shelter in 2024 as part of a removal for mistreatment, alongside about twenty other cats. A difficult past that now explains her great shyness. Reserved by nature, Casiopé will need time, patience and a lot of gentleness to gain confidence in her future family. She already accepts being touched and petted, proof that she is ready to move forward at her own pace. She gets along very well with the other cats, whose presence could be a real reference to help her flourish in her new home. Casiopé does not ask for much: a calm, caring family willing to give her time to discover that life can also be made of gentleness, security and love. Behind her shyness is a little female cat who finally deserves her chance.

About CASIOPE

What life with CASIOPE looks like

CASIOPE is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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.
