Adopt GASTON

Male · Senior · 12 years

GASTON is a cat who came to us as a result of his mistress's death, arriving with Praline. Our GASTON is completely blind and suffers from hypertension, which requires lifelong treatment. He is lost and does not understand what is happening to him and why he is there. Nevertheless, GASTON is a sweet cat who is easy to handle and very affectionate. He will need a calm family and will be accompanied with gentleness into this new phase of his life.

About GASTON

What life with GASTON looks like

GASTON is a medium-sized senior cat waiting at SPA Lézignan-Corbières in Lezignan.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Note from the shelter: Completely blind with eye pressure condition requiring lifelong treatment

🇫🇷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 GASTON, answered.

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