Ferdinand

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

My story: Ferdinand arrived through the shelter "Le Passage". My character: Ferdinand, also known as Ferdi, charms everyone with his little peculiarity: a heart on his muzzle, which he knows how to highlight with charm! He is a calm cat who will be the perfect companion in a home! He is a very expressive cat: when he wants something, he doesn't meow, he grinds his teeth, so that we know exactly that it's him speaking. Very affectionate, he loves giving kisses on the cheek and sharing tender moments. He is a friendly cat who doesn't hesitate to ask for scratches! Small daily ritual: Ferdi absolutely needs his paste every morning and a very soft pouf - preferably pink - for his nap. I like / I don't like: Chill and sociable, he gets along with other cats. He is okay with children. He doesn't need outside.

Mon histoire : Ferdinand est arrivé par le biais de la fourrière « Le Passage ». Mon caractère : Ferdinand, alias Ferdi, séduit tout le monde avec sa petite particularité : un cœur au niveau de son museau, qu’il sait mettre en valeur avec charme ! C’est un chat calme qui sera le parfait compagnon dans un foyer ! C’est un chat très expressif : quand il veut quelque chose, il ne miaule pas, il grince, pour qu’on sache exactement que c’est lui qui parle. Très câlin, il adore faire des bisous sur la joue et partager des moments de tendresse. C’est un chat avenant qui n’hésite pas à réclamer des papouilles ! Petit rituel quotidien : Ferdi a absolument besoin de sa pâte chaque matin et d’un pouf bien moelleux — rose de préférence — pour sa sieste. J'aime / J'aime pas : Chill et sociable, il s’entend avec les autres chats. Il est ok enfants. Il n’a pas besoin d’extérieur.

About Ferdinand

What life with Ferdinand looks like

Ferdinand is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

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 Ferdinand, answered.

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