How do I contact the shelter about Émile?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Émile on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Émile if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Émile 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 Émile 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Émile 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.

Émile

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Age: Born on May 1, 2025. Identification: 250.269.611.834.232. Physical characteristics: A very handsome cat with gray fur and yellow eyes. Tested negative for FIV/Felv, vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Temperament: At first glance, Émile is a somewhat shy cat who will take his time to open up and feel completely at ease. But with patience and gentleness, he’ll eventually reveal his adorable and endearing personality. Affectionate and curious about everything, but especially playful, he has plenty of energy to burn and never tires of his fishing rod toy! Still, what he loves most of all is taking long naps and then spontaneously coming to seek out cuddle sessions—moments he absolutely adores. He’s also a gourmet cat who won’t hesitate to remind you gently when it’s mealtime. Émile remains a very well-behaved cat who respects boundaries; he doesn’t steal food from plates and understands “no” very well. In conclusion, this lovely, deeply affectionate cat will melt your heart with his kindness. History: Found and entrusted to the association. Ideal placement: In a responsible, serious, committed, and calm home with a spacious living environment. Best suited for adoption alone if there are children, preferably teenagers. Contact details: Animal available for adoption through a foster family in Paris. Please contact Marie-Pierre (volunteer) at 06 08 89 85 26 (evenings after 7 p.m. and weekends), by email, or via the online form.
