Adopt DEWEY

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Upon arrival, DEWEY was nicknamed Mr. Untouchable. But this little fellow has come a long way! Today, he loves affection - as long as it respects his royal rules: gentleness and patience. And when he is confident, he stands on his toes to ask for more. His secret to thriving? Other cats! DEWEY loves his fellow felines: friendly headbutts, walks side by side, and play sessions are part of his daily routine. A kind, attentive cat companion is essential to help him gain confidence. Calm and composed, DEWEY is looking for a quiet home with access to the outdoors. Young children who are too energetic? Not for him. He dreams of a family that respects his pace, willing to give him the time he deserves... and above all, a wonderful feline companion to share his life with. If DEWEY has captured your heart and your cat is looking for a friend just as adorable, come meet him in his foster home in Trégueux (22). He is ready to become your new best friend!

À son arrivée, Dewey était surnommé Monsieur Intouchable. Mais ce petit bonhomme a parcouru un sacré chemin ! Aujourd’hui, il raffole des caresses – à condition qu’elles respectent ses règles royales : douceur et patience. Et quand il est en confiance, il se dresse sur la pointe des pattes pour en redemander. Son secret pour s’épanouir ? Les autres chats ! Dewey adore ses congénères : coups de tête amicaux, balades côte à côte et parties de jeu rythment son quotidien. Un copain chat bienveillant est indispensable pour continuer à l’aider à gagner en assurance. Calme et posé, Dewey cherche un foyer tranquille avec un accès à l’extérieur. Les jeunes enfants trop turbulents ? Très peu pour lui. Il rêve d’une famille respectueuse de son rythme, prête à lui offrir le temps qu’il mérite… et surtout, un super compagnon félin avec qui partager sa vie. Si Dewey a conquis votre cœur et que votre chat cherche un copain tout aussi adorable, venez le rencontrer dans sa famille d’accueil à Trégueux (22). Il est prêt à devenir votre nouveau meilleur ami !

About DEWEY

What life with DEWEY looks like

DEWEY is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Moustaches et Compagnie in moustaches et compagnie.

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 DEWEY, answered.

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