Adopt Igor

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Cautious, calm, social only with other cats at the shelter and fond of long naps. Igor is a gentle black tom cat born on the street from a stray queen. He was born on 04/20/2013. He was first taken in at the shelter rue Mulatière before being transferred to rue Florent Evrard. He arrived with his brother Ivan but who unfortunately died. Very cautious at first, he has adapted well and is becoming less wary. He does not like human contact but enjoys the company of other cats at the shelter who have soothed him following the death of his brother. The cats at the shelter are his new family, which is why he is not up for adoption. Cat Shelter & Adoption in Saint-Étienne. Spaying/Neutering – Rescue – Placement in a family.

About Igor

What life with Igor looks like

Igor is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Amis Chats in Saint-Étienne.

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.

🇫🇷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 Igor, answered.

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