Colin

Male · Adult · 4 years

Colin arrived in May 2025 from Argenteuil. He is a very handsome orange tabby cat with big expressive eyes. He is also a bit chatty, which makes him a cat who knows how to communicate and is easy to live with. Colin is very affectionate, he loves head scratches and purrs like a motor. He likes to stay inside the cabin and can live in an apartment. He tends to be dominant with his feline friends, preferring to be the only cat in the house. A good cat with plenty of love to give! Colin is FIV positive. He is not sick: the virus in his body is in dormancy and can stay that way for a very long time. The virus does not transmit to humans but only between cats through deep bites (from saliva to blood). When they are sterilized and non-fighters, the risk is virtually nil. Tested FIV+, FELV-, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, spayed. Adoption application form: How to Adopt from The Cat School?

Colin est arrivé en mai 2025 d’Argenteuil. C’est un très beau chat tigré roux aux grands yeux très expressif. Il est aussi un peu bavard ce qui en fait un chat qui sait se faire comprendre et facile à vivre. Colin est très câlin, il adore les caresses sur la tête et ronronne comme un moteur. Il aime bien rester à l’intérieur du chalet, il peut vivre en appartement. Il a tendance à être dominant avec les copains chats, à adopter de préférence seul chat de la maison. Un bon chat qui a plein d’amour à donner ! Colin est positif au FIV. Il n’est pas malade : le virus dans son organisme est en sommeil et peut le rester très longtemps. Le virus ne se transmet pas aux humains, mais uniquement entre chats par morsure profonde (de la salive jusqu’au sang). Quand ils sont stérilisés et non bagarreurs, le risque est quasiment nul. Testé FIV+, FELV-, vaccinée, identifiée, vermifugée, stérilisée. Formulaire de demande d'adoption : Comment adopter à l'Ecole du chat ? annonce mise à jour le 28 FEVRIER 2026

About Colin

What life with Colin looks like

Colin is a large adult cat waiting at 30 Millions d'Amis in Paris.

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 Colin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Colin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 30 Millions d'Amis handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Colin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Colin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 30 Millions d'Amis 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 Colin 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 Colin 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 30 Millions d'Amis early rather than rehoming privately; they know Colin 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.
