Hugo

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 10 years

Despite his lovable appearance and good nature, Hugo has gone unnoticed for a year and a half. Background: Hugo was abandoned by his family due to an allergy. When we took him in, this poor little heart was quite shaken. Description: Hugo is an exceptionally affectionate and cuddly cat, easy to fall in love with. At any time of the day, he loves to climb onto his human for a session of adorable purring! He often likes to nuzzle his head or paws into his neck, tickling him with his wet nose... Hugo also enjoys following his human around the rooms, rubbing against their legs, often to ask for attention or food. In the evening, he loves to curl up next to his human and has a very cute little snore when he falls asleep. Hugo is a playful and energetic cat. He loves to slide on the floor, "attack" the rug, run after fishing rods, but also colorful little balls that he chases at high speed through the rooms. He also loves to play with moving hands or feet under the duvet, and be careful with the claws that can sometimes pierce the down. A bit rough during play, it's best to avoid playing with hands. Hugo is not destructive and rather unleashes his energy on his scratching post. He is quite obedient and understands quickly when he is told "no". Hugo is a curious and comfortable cat! His bête noire... the vacuum cleaner! As soon as it's out, it's off to hide under the sofa! Having always lived indoors, Hugo can live in an apartment (minimum 35m2) with no access to the outside. We do not know his compatibility with other animals. He can live with respectful children!

Malgré sa bouille d'amour et son bon caractère, aucun regard ne s'est porté sur Hugo depuis un an et demi.Histoire: Hugo a été abandonné par sa famille pour cause d'allergie. Quand nous l'avons récupéré, ce pauvre petit coeur était assez chamboulé.Description: Hugo est un chat particulièrement câlin et affectueux, auquel il est très facile de s’attacher. À tout moment de la journée, il adore monter sur son humain pour une séance de ronrons adorables ! Il vient souvent blottir sa tête ou ses pattes dans son cou en le chatouillant avec son nez humide...Hugo aime bien aussi suivre son humain dans les pièces en se frottant à ses jambes, souvent pour réclamer de l'attention ou de la nourriture.Le soir, il aime s’endormir auprès de son humain et a un petit ronflement très craquant quand il s’endort.Hugo est un chat joueur et dynamique. Il aime déraper sur le sol, "attaquer" le tapis, courir après les cannes à pêche, mais aussi les petites balles colorées qu’il poursuit à toute vitesse à travers les pièces.Il adore aussi jouer avec les mains ou les pieds qui bougent sous la couette et attention aux griffes qui peuvent parfois traverser le duvet. Un peu brut pendant le jeu, il sera mieux d'éviter de jouer avec les mains.Hugo n’est pas pour autant destructeur et se défoule plutôt sur son griffoir. Il est assez obéissant et comprend vite quand on lui dit "non".Hugo est un chat plutôt curieux et à l'aise ! Sa bête noire... l’aspirateur ! Dès qu'il est de sortie, c’est direction sous le canapé !Ayant toujours vécu en intérieur, Hugo pourra vivre en appartement (minimum 35m2) sans accès à l'extérieur.Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les autres animaux. Il pourra par contre vivre avec des enfants respectueux !Localisation :Meudon (92)Frais d'adoption :190€Processus d'adoptionRegarder nos autres chatsFormulaire d'adoptionAdopter Devenir famille d'accueil Faire un don Donner 1€ par moisNous contacter Mentions légales Statuts Vie privéeREJOIGNEZ-NOUS ! © 2025 association Un Ami O'Poilbottom of page

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Association Un Ami O 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 Hugo, answered.

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