How do I contact the shelter about Coussinet?

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

Can I adopt Coussinet if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAD Sud Essonne 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 Coussinet 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 Coussinet 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 APAD Sud Essonne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Coussinet 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.

Coussinet

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Coussinet, a 6-month-old kitten (August 2025). He has never known the warmth and kindness of a home, but he is not aggressive. I hide because you scare me. Every time a human approached me, he chased me away but I would like to have a warm home. Masters who would give me time to get used to everything since everything is new for me and it scares me. That's why I hide but my foster mom gives me treats and strangely I calm down at moments like this even if I remain cautious and sometimes I even make a strange noise. She says I purr so I don't know what that means but it seems to please her. Well, after that, I quickly go back to hiding but I let myself be caught easily and I am calm. Also, I always go into my box for my needs, she says I am a good boy, clean and recently spayed. I don't know yet what a family life is but I am ready to learn gently. In short, you have understood that it is a kitten who needs a lot of time and tenderness and magic should happen. It is not a ready-made cat that immediately purrs but I am sure it will be all the more satisfying when he comes to you because you will have gained his trust!

Coussinet chaton de 6 mois (aout 2025) Il n'a jamais connu la chaleur et la douceur d'un foyer pour autant il n'est pas agressif. Je me cache car vous me faites peur. A chaque fois qu'un humain m'approchait, il me chassait mais j'aimerais avoir un foyer au chaud. Des maîtres qui me laisseraient le temps de m'habituer à tout ça car tout est nouveau pour moi et ça me fait peur. C'est d'ailleurs pour ça que je me cache mais ma FA me donne des friandises et bizarrement je m'apaise à des moments comme celui-ci même si je reste méfiant et parfois je fais même un bruit bizarre. Elle me dit que je ronronne alors je ne sais pas ce que ça veut dire mais ça a l'air de lui faire plaisir. Bon après, je retourne vite me cacher mais je me laisse attraper facilement et je suis calme. En plus, je vais toujours dans ma boîte pour mes besoins, elle me dit que je suis un grand garçon propre et stérilisé depuis peu. Je ne sais pas encore ce qu'est une vie de famille mais je suis prêt à apprendre en douceur ». En somme vous l'aurez compris c'est un chaton qui a besoin de beaucoup de temps et de douceur et la magie devrait opérer. Ça n'est pas un chaton clé en main et ronron thérapie de suite mais je suis certaine que ça n'en sera que plus satisfaisant quand il viendra vers vous car vous aurez obtenu sa confiance !

About Coussinet

Coussinet is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at APAD Sud Essonne in Janville-sur-Juine.

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.
