How do I contact the shelter about KOSHECHKA?

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

Can I adopt KOSHECHKA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Angoumois 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 KOSHECHKA 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 KOSHECHKA 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 Refuge Angoumois early rather than rehoming privately; they know KOSHECHKA 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.

KOSHECHKA

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 8 years

Coco, Barsik, Pisso and Koshechka are 8-year-old cats who arrived at the shelter after the person who had been caring for them moved away. Originally, all four were stray cats. Their lives changed when they met a wonderful woman who took care of more than a dozen cats on their living site. Thanks to her, they were able to be identified, sterilized, and most importantly, gradually discover trust in humans. With a lot of patience, gentleness and kindness, she managed to tame and socialize them. So, when she left, it was impossible for her to leave them behind, alone in the wild... It was with a heavy heart that she entrusted some of her little protégés to the shelter in order to give them the chance to find a real family. Today, this adorable little band is ready for a new adventure! Still a bit shy during the first meetings, they are sociable and just want to get to know you. You just have to give them some time and offer them the same gentleness they have known until now. They can be adopted separately or in pairs, depending on the affinities and households. Coco, Barsik, Pisso and Koshechka have already traveled a long way. All they need now is a family to turn this second chance into a beautiful story for life. Come meet them at the shelter!

Koshechka – 8ans, Coco, Barsik, Pisso et Koshechka sont arrivés au refuge suite au déménagement de la personne qui veillait sur eux depuis plusieurs années. À l’origine, tous les quatre étaient des chats errants. Leur vie a changé lorsqu’ils ont croisé le chemin de cette formidable dame qui prenait soin de plus d’une dizaine de chats sur leur site de vie. Grâce à elle, ils ont pu être identifiés, stérilisés, mais surtout découvrir petit à petit la confiance envers l’humain. Avec énormément de patience, de douceur et de bienveillance, elle a réussi à les apprivoiser et à les sociabiliser. Alors, au moment de son départ, impossible pour elle de les laisser derrière elle, seuls dans la nature… C’est le cœur lourd qu’elle a confié certains de ses petits protégés au refuge afin de leur offrir la chance de trouver une vraie famille. Aujourd’hui, cette adorable petite bande est prête pour une nouvelle aventure ! Encore un peu timides lors des premières rencontres, ils sont sociables et ne demandent qu’à apprendre à vous connaître. Il faudra simplement leur laisser un peu de temps et leur offrir la même douceur que celle qu’ils ont connue jusqu’ici. Ils pourront être adoptés séparément ou en duo, selon les affinités et les foyers. Coco, Barsik, Pisso et Koshechka ont déjà parcouru un sacré chemin. Il ne leur manque désormais qu’une famille pour transformer cette seconde chance en une belle histoire pour la vie. Venez les rencontrer au refuge !

About KOSHECHKA

What life with KOSHECHKA looks like
