Cyrus

Male · Young · 1 year

CYRUS arrived at the shelter via the animal control facility; unfortunately, we don’t know Cyrus’s past. At the shelter, Cyrus shows a friendly demeanor toward humans and enjoys interactions, yet he also has a strong personality. That’s why we’re looking for a home for him—one without young children, with people who have experience handling cats and who can respect his temperament. He tolerates the presence of other cats but doesn’t actively seek them out. This young tomcat will thrive best in a home where he can be the only cat and have access to the outdoors, allowing him to enjoy his freedom and satisfy his curiosity.

CYRUS Arrivé au refuge par le biais de la fourrière, nous ne connaissons malheureusement pas le passé de Cyrus. Au refuge, Cyrus se montre proche de l’humain et apprécie les interactions, mais il possède également un fort caractère. C’est pourquoi nous recherchons pour lui un foyer sans jeunes enfants, auprès de personnes ayant de l’expérience avec les chats et sachant respecter son tempérament. Il tolère la présence de ses congénères, sans pour autant les rechercher. Ce jeune matou s’épanouira davantage dans une maison où il pourra être le seul chat et bénéficier d’un accès à l’extérieur, afin de profiter de sa liberté et de satisfaire sa curiosité.

About Cyrus

What life with Cyrus looks like

Cyrus is a young adult dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 Cyrus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cyrus?
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 Cyrus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cyrus 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 Cyrus 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 Cyrus 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 Cyrus 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.
