Kintsu

Male · Adult · 5 years

KINTSU Ce joli loulou, qui a dû subir une caudectomie (amputation de la queue), est un chat très doux et affectueux. Il apprécie les caresses, la présence de l’humain et ne demande qu’à partager de tendres moments avec sa future famille. Il est FIV positif, mais cela ne l’empêche pas de mener une vie heureuse et de profiter pleinement de son quotidien avec des soins adaptés et un suivi vétérinaire régulier. Le Fiv est le virus de l’immunodéficience féline c’est une maladie qui se transmet uniquement entre chats. Il n’y a pas ne transmission possible ni aux humains, ni aux chiens. Dès lors qu’un chat a été contaminé par le virus du Fiv, il restera porteur toute sa vie, il ne peut pas éliminer le virus. De ce fait, il devra être placé en appartement, avec de nombreux enrichissements pour éviter l’ennui (tapis de fouille, étagères en hauteur pour observer, boites en carton…)Il attend désormais un foyer aimant qui lui offrira tout l’amour et la tranquillité qu’il mérite.

About Kintsu

What life with Kintsu looks like

Kintsu is a adult dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 Kintsu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kintsu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kintsu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kintsu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Kintsu already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs 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 Kintsu 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kintsu 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.
