Adopt Chester

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

CHESTER, male, 5 years old. Taken in a few weeks ago to prevent euthanasia because his previous owner could not treat his flea allergy... A very kind cat, very social, who easily approaches people. Rather calm but still playful. He loves cuddles, especially in the evening. Chester gets along with cats, dogs and children. He is in good health. It will just be necessary to apply flea treatment regularly (as for any cat) because he is allergic to fleas. CHESTER is visible in Montivilliers!

CHESTER, mâle de 5 ans. Pris en charge il y a qques semaines pour lui éviter l’euthanasie car son ancienne propriétaire ne pouvait pas soigner son allergie aux puces… Un très gentil chat, très sociable, qui va facilement vers les gens. Plutôt calme mais encore joueur. Il adore faire des câlins, surtout le soir. Chester s’entend avec les chats, avec les chiens et avec les enfants. Il est en pleine forme. Il faudra juste lui mettre de l’antipuce régulièrement (comme pour tout chats ) car il y est allergique. CHESTER est visible sur Montivilliers !

About Chester

What life with Chester looks like

Chester is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at La Patte Normande in Bolleville.

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 Chester, answered.

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