CHARLY

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

FOR ADOPTION: CHARLY, 6 years old We were alerted to his presence in a garden and took him in at the shelter. Being rather "dominant" with other cats, we have placed him with one of our foster families, who is caring for him until he is adopted. With people, he is a very sweet cat, extremely cuddly, and he loves being brushed (one of the little routines he enjoys). His foster family tells us he is settling in very well to apartment life and to being stroked, and that he is a real velcro cat, asking for a lot of attention and cuddles. He is very easygoing and easy to handle, even though he doesn't like knees or being carried, and he is showing more and more playfulness and confidence. He is still a little fearful when there is movement or strangers around, and his favourite hiding spot remains under the sofa 😊

A L'ADOPTION CHARLY, 6 ans Sa présence dans un jardin nous a été signalée et nous l'avons accueilli au refuge. Étant plutôt "dominant" avec les autres chats, nous l'avons confié à l'une de nos familles d'accueil qui prend soin de lui jusqu'à son adoption. Avec les humains, c'est un très gentil chat, hyper câlin, qui adore être brossé (l'une des petites routines qu'il apprécie). Sa famille d'accueil nous dit qu'il se fait très bien à la vie en appartement et aux caresses, qu'il est très pot de colle et réclame beaucoup d'attention et de câlins. Il est très facile à vivre et à manipuler même s'il n'aime pas les genoux et être porté et se montre de plus en plus joueur et en confiance. Il est juste encore un peu craintif lorsqu'il y a du mouvement ou des inconnus et sa cachette préférée reste le dessous du canapé 😊

About CHARLY

What life with CHARLY looks like

CHARLY is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Chats des Rues 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. 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. Chats des Rues 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 — Chats des Rues 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Chats des Rues 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.
