How do I contact the shelter about Hazel?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Perwez) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hazel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hazel if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perwez) 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 Hazel 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 Hazel 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 Perwez) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hazel 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.

Hazel

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

Cats listed as “in need of rescue” have an even more urgent need to find a forever family. This may be due to their age, a specific medical condition, or simply because they’re feeling unhappy at the shelter. Hazel was living as a stray on private property before she arrived at the shelter, where she finally found safety and care. She’s a fearful cat who will need time, patience, and gentleness to learn to trust and feel completely secure in her new environment. Hazel is looking for a calm home that respects her pace, where she can settle in peacefully and gradually build up her confidence. In terms of health, Hazel is HIV-positive. While this condition doesn’t prevent her from leading a happy life, she’ll need to live exclusively indoors to protect both her own health and that of other cats. Hazel gets along well with other cats, and having calm, respectful feline companions could even help her feel safer on a daily basis.

Les chats signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Hazel vivait en errance sur un terrain avant son arrivée au refuge, où elle a enfin pu être mise en sécurité et prise en charge. C’est une chatte peureuse, qui aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour apprendre à faire confiance et se sentir pleinement rassurée dans son nouvel environnement. Hazel recherche un foyer calme et respectueux de son rythme, où elle pourra évoluer sereinement et gagner progressivement en confiance. Côté santé, Hazel est porteuse du Sida du chat. Cette particularité ne l’empêche pas de mener une vie heureuse, mais elle devra vivre exclusivement en intérieur afin de préserver sa santé ainsi que celle des autres chats. Hazel s’entend bien avec les autres chats, et la présence de congénères calmes et respectueux pourrait même l’aider à se sentir plus en sécurité au quotidien.
