How do I contact the shelter about Dustin?

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 Dustin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dustin 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 Dustin 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 Dustin 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 Dustin 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.

Adopt Dustin

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Dustin lived previously with an elderly gentleman who unfortunately could no longer take care of him and had to enter a home. He lived in a caravan environment before being taken in by this breed. He is a fearful cat but not aggressive, who will need time, patience, and gentleness to gain confidence. He may appear reserved at first and will need to be accompanied with kindness to evolve at his own pace and regain his bearings in total serenity. Regarding his interactions, Dustin has lived with many other cats and may be able to cohabitate with other animals of the same species respectfully once reassured. Dustin will need access to the outdoors in order to fully flourish, explore, and enjoy an environment adapted to his needs. Dustin is searching for a calm and gentle family, willing to offer him the stability, security, and respect he needs. In return, he can, at his own pace, regain confidence and gradually open up to a more serene and peaceful life.

Read original (fr)

Dustin vivait auparavant avec un monsieur âgé qui ne pouvait malheureusement plus s’occuper de lui et a dû entrer en home. Il vivait dans un environnement en caravane, avant d’être pris en charge par le refuge. C’est un chat peureux, mais pas agressif, qui aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour prendre confiance. Il peut se montrer réservé au premier abord et devra être accompagné avec bienveillance afin d’évoluer à son rythme et de retrouver ses repères en toute sérénité. Concernant ses ententes, Dustin a vécu avec de nombreux autres chats et pourra probablement cohabiter avec des congénères respectueux une fois rassuré. Dustin aura besoin d’un accès à l’extérieur afin de pouvoir s’épanouir pleinement, explorer et profiter d’un environnement adapté à ses besoins. Dustin recherche une famille calme et bienveillante, prête à lui offrir la stabilité, la sécurité et le respect dont il a besoin. En retour, il pourra, à son rythme, reprendre confiance et s’ouvrir progressivement à une vie plus sereine et apaisée.
