Adopt LUCKY

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

LUCKY – 10 years old, Lucky is an elderly cat who appreciates calm and tranquility. He was abandoned with FRIPOUILLE after their human was hospitalized. Accustomed to both outdoor and indoor life, Lucky has always known a peaceful existence. The change is now difficult for him, and he has been depressed since his arrival at the shelter. He is a sensitive cat who will need time, gentleness, and a serene environment to regain confidence. He will appreciate the presence of a calm family that respects his rhythm and need for tranquility. To help him find a family more easily, Lucky benefits from a reduced adoption fee and can leave under a foster care agreement set up by the 30 Millions d'Amis foundation, which supports veterinary care for senior cats. Lucky deserves to find a warm home quickly to finish his life surrounded by love and tenderness.

About LUCKY

What life with LUCKY looks like

LUCKY is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting LUCKY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LUCKY?
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 LUCKY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LUCKY 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 LUCKY 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 LUCKY 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 LUCKY 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.
