How do I contact the shelter about CLEM?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Rêves de chiens handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw CLEM on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt CLEM if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Rêves de chiens 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 CLEM 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 CLEM 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 Rêves de chiens early rather than rehoming privately; they know CLEM 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.

CLEM

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

CLEM was taken in by our shelter at the request of the police. Upon intake, he was very thin, hairless, and had injuries on his front paws and paw pads. We know nothing of his past, but he was saved just in time and must have suffered greatly in the past: he likely had a broken front leg that was not treated. It doesn’t bother him when he walks, but sometimes, when he sits, he doesn’t fully bear weight on his leg. Since his arrival with his foster family, he has been on a specific diet. He has gained weight quickly and has also received treatment for his skin issue (ringworm), which is now just a distant memory. Nevertheless, he holds no grudges against humans as he is very affectionate and very eager for cuddles. He is a box of purrs! He loves human contact. When he doesn’t know them, a few days are enough for him to get used to them.

Clem a été pris en charge par l’association à la demande de la police. A sa prise en charge, il était très maigre, sans poils et avec des blessures sur les pattes avant et les coussinets. On ne sait rien de son passé, mais il a été sauvé juste à temps et a dû beaucoup souffrir dans son passé : il a eu probablement une patte avant fracturée qui n’a pas été soignée. Ca ne le gêne pas pour marcher mais de temps en temps, quand il est assis, il ne s’appuie pas complètement sur sa patte. Depuis son arrivée chez sa famille d’accueil, il a eu une alimentation spécifique. Il a remonté la pente et il a reprit rapidement du poids. Il a eu aussi un traitement contre son problème de peau (la teigne) qui n’est maintenant plus qu’un lointain souvenir. Néanmoins, il ne garde aucune rancœur envers l’humain car il est très câlin et est très demandeur de caresses. C’est une boite à ronrons ! Il adore le contact avec l’humain. Quand il ne connait pas, quelques jours suffisent pour qu’il s’habitue. Il est
