Adopt Marley

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Age: Born on 02/10/2019 Identification: 250 268 743 165 453 Physical characteristics: Large tiger-striped cat with beautiful green eyes. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV test negative. Marley suffers from a cardiac issue (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) that is fully managed and stabilized by the daily intake of a medication (1/2 tablet per day only). Character: Marley is a gentle, calm, and very affectionate cat who enjoys both playtime and moments of tenderness with his humans. Very affectionate, he loves head and cheek rubs and will purr immediately when given attention. Curious, he loves to observe his environment and what is happening outside, but also enjoys long naps during the day. Playful, he particularly appreciates fishing rods and moments of complicity with his humans. Gourmand, he knows the exact time for his meal! Clean and easy to live with, Marley loves human company and will need a bit of daily attention, whether for play or for cuddles at night. He can be a bit stressed in a new environment, but with a bit of time and patience, he adapts quickly and reveals his gentleness. Marley is a tender and peaceful companion who seeks a family ready to offer him affection, presence, and a reassuring home. History: Marley was surrendered to the association following the arrival of children and a lack of time to devote to him. Ideal placement: To be adopted in a loving, calm, patient home without young children and with a minimum of 35/40m2. Coordinates: Marley is visible in foster care in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Contact Karine at (preferably by SMS, after 19:00 and on weekends), by email, or through the web form.

About Marley

What life with Marley looks like

Marley is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 in Paris.

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 Marley, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marley?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marley on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marley if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Marley 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 Marley 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marley 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.
