Chipie

Female · Senior · 10 years

Chipie is a pretty cat who is rather reserved at first. She will need some time to gain confidence and feel fully at ease in her new environment. With a lot of patience, gentleness, and respect for her pace, she will gradually get closer and create a beautiful relationship with her family. Chipie can live in an apartment, as long as she is offered a calm, secure environment and enough presence. She can also live with a dog, with gradual and respectful introductions so that each can find its bearings. Chipie is looking for a caring, patient, and understanding family, ready to give her the time she needs to flourish.

CHIPIE Chipie est une jolie chatte qui se montre plutôt réservée au premier abord. Elle aura besoin d’un peu de temps pour prendre confiance et se sentir pleinement à l’aise dans son nouvel environnement. Avec beaucoup de patience, de douceur et de respect de son rythme, elle saura progressivement se rapprocher et créer une belle relation avec sa famille. Chipie peut tout à fait vivre en appartement, à condition de lui offrir un environnement calme, sécurisant et suffisamment de présence. Elle peut également cohabiter avec un chien, avec des présentations progressives et respectueuses afin que chacun puisse trouver ses repères. Chipie recherche avant tout une famille bienveillante, patiente et compréhensive, prête à lui laisser le temps nécessaire pour s’épanouir.

About Chipie

What life with Chipie looks like

Chipie is a senior dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 Chipie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chipie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chipie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chipie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Chipie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs 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 Chipie 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chipie 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.
