Charly

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

[ Actuellement en famille d'accueil, premier contact avec les agents animaliers du refuge. ] Charly, le grand sensible au cœur XXL 💚 Charly, c’est un peu le mélange parfait entre un philosophe discret et un gros nounours attachant… avec un gabarit à la hauteur de sa personnalité : plus de 9 kg d’amour (oui, Monsieur ne fait pas les choses à moitié). Âgé de 2 ans, Charly a eu un début de vie un peu compliqué, ce qui l’a rendu sensible et parfois prudent. Mais après quelques mois passés avec nous, il s’est révélé… et quelle belle surprise 🐱✨ 💫 Aujourd’hui, Charly c’est : Un chat très gentil, qui aime les câlins (oui oui ! ), jouer et partager des moments avec ses humains… à sa façon, bien sûr. Parce que Charly reste un chat : quand il en a assez, il vous le fait comprendre, parfois juste en vous snobant et en vous laissant seul(e) d'une seconde à l'autre, parfois avec un petit coup de patte (rien de dramatique, juste de la communication féline très claire 😄). 🎣 Ses passions dans la vie : Les cannes à pêche, les plumeaux… bref, tout ce qui vole et bouge est une source infinie de bonheur. 🌿 Son mode de vie idéal : Charly aime le calme, mais aussi prendre l’air. Un accès extérieur est donc indispensable pour ses moments d’exploration… ou de méditation intense sur une feuille qui tombe. Et comme Monsieur fait partie de la team “gabarit généreux”, il est actuellement sur une alimentation un peu “light”… objectif : préparer le summer body (ou au moins quitter la catégorie XXL deluxe 😄). 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Cohabitation : 🐱 Chats : OK, s’ils respectent son espace (les pots de colle, très peu pour lui). 🐶 Chiens : À tester. 👶 Enfants : OK, à condition qu’ils soient doux, calmes et respectueux. 🏡 Organisation : Charly est actuellement en famille d’accueil. 👉 Pour toute première rencontre, un premier échange sera demandé avec les agents animaliers au refuge. __________ Charly, c’est un chat attachant, joueur, tendre… mais avec du caractère et des limites (comme nous tous, finalement). Il fera le bonheur d’une personne ou d’une famille patiente, respectueuse et prête à construire une belle relation à son rythme. Un grand timide devenu grand gentil… qui n’attend plus que son foyer pour continuer à s’épanouir 💚🐱✨

About Charly

What life with Charly looks like

Charly is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA d'Annecy Marlioz in France.

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 Charly, answered.

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