Adopt Linguine

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Linguine arrived at the shelter with 7 other cats, in a catastrophic condition. Her previous owner suffered from Noah's syndrome and was overwhelmed by the situation. She is a very social cat, gets along well with other cats and enjoys company. Due to her history, there is a risk of inbreeding, which makes her a bit more fragile. Linguine is HIV positive and therefore will not be allowed outside.

Linguine est arrivée au refuge avec 7 autres chats, dans un état catastrophique. Sa précédente propriétaire souffrait du syndrome de Noé et s’est laissée dépasser par la situation. C’est une chatte très sociable, qui s’entend bien avec les autres chats et apprécie la compagnie. En raison de son histoire, il existe un risque de consanguinité, ce qui la rend un peu plus fragile. Linguine est porteuse du Sida du chat et donc ne pourra pas avoir d’accès à l’extérieur.

What life with Linguine looks like

Linguine is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Linguine, answered.

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