Clopin est arrivé au refuge après avoir été trouvé avec une patte fortement déformée et tordue, probablement à la suite d’un ancien accident qui n’a jamais pu être pris en charge. C’est un chat qui a connu des difficultés et qui découvre aujourd’hui un environnement où il peut enfin recevoir les soins et l’attention dont il a besoin. Clopin est un chat peureux, qui aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour prendre confiance et s’adapter à son nouveau foyer. Il faudra respecter son rythme et lui laisser la possibilité de venir vers l’humain lorsqu’il se sentira en sécurité. Son passé et son état physique peuvent expliquer sa prudence actuelle, mais avec un environnement calme et bienveillant, il pourra progressivement se détendre. Concernant sa santé, Clopin présente une importante déformation de la patte, probablement due à un ancien accident. Il est également porteur du Sida du chat (FIV). Il nécessitera un suivi vétérinaire régulier afin de préserver au mieux son confort et sa qualité de vie.

About Clopin

What life with Clopin looks like

Clopin is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Clopin, answered.

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