GREY

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

GREY – 2 years old, GREY was found wandering in the commune of Courgeaet is now waiting to find a family that can offer him the environment he needs to thrive. He is a social cat with humans, but life at the shelter is difficult for him. The noisy and stressful environment does not suit him, and GREY shows that he would be much happier in a quiet and stable home. GREY can have a bit of a personality, which is why we prefer a family without young children. He also prefers to be the only pet in the household: GREY does not get along with other cats, and cohabitation with a dog is also to be avoided. GREY will absolutely need access to the outdoors, which is essential for his well-being and balance. GREY is FIV-positive (feline immunodeficiency virus) and therefore benefits from a reduced adoption fee. Contrary to popular belief, an FIV+ cat can live a beautiful and long life surrounded by love. ✨The shelter team will accompany you during the adoption of an FIV+ cat and will of course remain available to answer all your questions.🐾 GREY was found wandering in the commune of Courgeaet is now waiting to find a family that can offer him the environment he needs to thrive.

Grey – 3 ans, Grey a été trouvé errant sur la commune de Courgeac et attend aujourd’hui de trouver une famille qui saura lui offrir l’environnement dont il a besoin pour s’épanouir. C’est un chat sociable avec l’humain, mais la vie au refuge est difficile pour lui. Ce cadre bruyant et stressant ne lui convient pas, et Grey montre qu’il serait bien plus heureux dans un foyer calme et stable. Grey peut avoir son petit caractère, c’est pourquoi nous privilégierons une famille sans enfants en bas âge. Il préfère également être le seul animal du foyer : Grey ne s’entend pas avec les autres chats, et la cohabitation avec un chien est également à éviter. Grey aura impérativement besoin d’un accès à l’extérieur, essentiel pour son équilibre et son bien-être. Grey est positif au FIV (virus de l’immunodéficience féline) et bénéficie donc d’un tarif d’adoption réduit. Contrairement aux idées reçues, un chat FIV+ peut vivre une belle et longue vie entouré d’amour. ✨L’équipe du refuge vous accompagne lors de l’adoption d’un chat FIV+ et reste bien sûr disponible pour répondre à toutes vos questions.🐾 Grey a été trouvé errant sur la commune de Courgeac et attend aujourd’hui de trouver une famille qui saura lui offrir l’environnement dont il a besoin pour s’épanouir.

About GREY

What life with GREY looks like

GREY is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 GREY, answered.

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