Kerby

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Kerby is a 10-year-old cat with an unusual and endearing appearance: his small scarred head tells of a difficult life spent outside, but it is also proof of a strong character and beautiful resilience. Behind his grumpy look lies a calm, gentle, and very affectionate companion who deeply enjoys petting and the quiet presence of a human beside him. A true heart cat, discreet and grateful! Arrived from the pound with an unknown past, Kerby suffers from eye problems that will require lifelong care. He is looking for a quiet home, without commotion, where he can finally put his paws down and feel safe. Living with other cats will need to be evaluated based on affinities. Kerby, a survivor with a big heart who deserves his retirement!

FR·Show original

Kerby est un chat de 10 ans au physique atypique et attachant : sa petite tête balafrée raconte une vie difficile passée dehors, mais c'est aussi la preuve d'un sacré caractère et d'une belle résilience. Derrière son petit air grognon se cache en réalité un compagnon posé, doux et très câlin, qui apprécie profondément les caresses et la présence tranquille d'un humain à ses côtés. Un vrai chat de cœur, discret et reconnaissant ! Arrivé de fourrière avec un passé inconnu, Kerby souffre de problèmes oculaires qui nécessiteront des soins à vie. Il recherche un foyer calme, sans agitation, où il pourra enfin poser ses pattes et se sentir en sécurité. La cohabitation avec d'autres chats sera à évaluer selon les affinités. Kerby, un survivant au grand cœur qui mérite sa retraite !

What life with Kerby looks like

Frequently asked

Adopting Kerby, answered.

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