Lino

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Lino, the adventurous heart-winner 💓 Found wandering, infested with fleas, and in poor condition, Lino has come a long way. And yet… he retains a touching gentleness and an infinite love for humans 😻. Cuddles, kisses, and long sessions of grooming on his lap: that’s his happiness. Very social, Lino has undoubtedly known a home before being abandoned. He gets along well with other cats as well as dogs 🐱🐶. Unfortunately, the street has marked him: carrier of FIV (not transmissible to humans), he suffers from dental issues related to the disease. An operation in June relieved him, but ongoing monitoring and long-term treatment will be necessary for his comfort 😿. Calm, affectionate, and easy to live with, Lino has been waiting for 9 long months for his forever family 🏠. Give him this chance… he will give you his heart without limit ❣️🐾.

Lino, l’aventurier au grand cœur 💓 Retrouvé errant, couvert de puces et en piteux état, Lino revient de loin. Et pourtant… il a gardé une douceur bouleversante et un amour infini pour les humains 😻. Câlins, bisous et longues séances de brossage sur les genoux : voilà son bonheur. Très sociable, Lino a très certainement connu un foyer avant l’abandon. Il s’entend très bien avec les autres chats comme avec les chiens 🐱🐶. Malheureusement, la rue l’a marqué : porteur du FIV (non transmissible à l’humain), il souffre de problèmes bucco-dentaires liés à la maladie. Une opération en juin l’a soulagé, mais un suivi et un traitement sur le long terme seront nécessaires pour son confort 😿. Calme, affectueux et facile à vivre, Lino attend depuis plus d'un an sa famille pour la vie 🏠. Offrez-lui enfin cette chance… il vous donnera son cœur sans limite ❣️🐾.

About Lino

What life with Lino looks like

Lino is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at AniMeaux in Meaux.

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.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lino, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lino?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. AniMeaux handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lino if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — AniMeaux 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lino 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 Lino 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 AniMeaux early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lino 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.
