Chip

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

In socialization with volunteer Peluchon, Canaillou, and Chip, we were entrusted after their mistress moved to a retirement home. Chip is the youngest of the three. Just like Peluchon and Canaillou, it will take time and patience for him to feel comfortable in his paws! He shows no signs of aggression and is starting to hide less in the cattery, which is already a huge progress for him! See Chip on the forum.

En cours de socialisation chez un bénévole Peluchon, Canaillou et Chip nous ont été confiés suite au départ de leur maîtresse en maison de retraite. Chip est le plus jeune des 3. Tout comme Peluchon et Canaillou il faudra du temps et de la patience pour qu'il se sente bien dans ses patounes ! Il ne montre aucun signe d'agressivité et commence à moins se cacher en chatterie ce qui est déjà un énorme progrès pour lui ! Voir Chip sur le forum.

About Chip

What life with Chip looks like

Chip is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge des Bérauds (Romans-sur-Isère) in Romans-sur-Isère.

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 Chip, answered.

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