Harrys

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Harrys was trapped at the end of November 2023 with four other cats on a dangerous industrial site in Chilly-Mazarin (91). He is a real survivor because we regularly find cat corpses in this area. Indeed, considered undesirable by some, cats are victims of poisoning. Staples are also mixed into their food, causing terrible suffering to those who ingest them: stomach or intestinal perforations and mouth injuries causing infections... For his well-being, Harrys will need to join a home that already has a friendly cat or can be adopted with a friend from La Voie Féline. Harrys survived hell and it leaves its mark. Arrived terrified in foster care, he has made huge progress. He waited for many weeks before showing himself, out of fear that the human would hurt him. Now, he no longer hesitates to show himself but remains at a distance. He is a big eater who knows how to make his foster family aware when mealtime approaches. Unfortunately, Harrys has been stuck for some time. To evolve, he absolutely needs to be in contact with a friendly cat on whom he can take example, a big feline brother who will show him that not all humans are mean. Vaccinated, neutered, identified and tested negative for FIV / FELV.

Harrys a été trappé fin novembre 2023 avec quatre autres chats sur un site industriel dangereux à Chilly-Mazarin (91). C'est un véritable survivant car nous retrouvons régulièrement des cadavres de chats dans cette zone. En effet, considérés comme indésirables par certains, les chats sont victimes d’empoisonnements. Des agrafes sont également mélangées à leur nourriture, causant d’atroces souffrances à ceux qui les ingèrent : perforations de l’estomac ou des intestins et des blessures à la gueule provoquant des infections… Pour son bien-être, Harrys aura besoin de rejoindre un foyer ayant déjà un chat sociable ou pourra être adopté avec un copain de La Voie Féline. Harrys a survécu à l'enfer et cela laisse des traces. Arrivé terrorisé en famille d'accueil, celui-ci a fait d'énormes progrès. Il a attendu de longues semaines avant de se montrer, de peur que l'humain ne lui fasse du mal. Désormais, il n'hésite plus à se faire voir mais reste encore à distance. C'est un grand gourmand qui sait faire comprendre à sa famille d'accueil quand l'heure de la pâtée approche. Malheureusement, Harrys stagne depuis quelques temps. Pour évoluer, il a impérativement besoin d'être au contact d'un chat sociable sur lequel il pourra prendre exemple, un grand frère félin qui lui montrera que les humains ne sont pas tous méchants. En ordre de vaccins, castré, identifié et dépisté FIV / FELV négatifs.

About Harrys

What life with Harrys looks like

Harrys is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at La Voie Féline in la voie feline.

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 Harrys, answered.

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