How do I contact the shelter about MARLEY?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Rêves de chiens 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 — Refuge Rêves de chiens 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 Refuge Rêves de chiens 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.

Likely adopted

MARLEY

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

MARLEY was abandoned at the age of 7 days in front of a veterinarian's door. Fortunately, we picked him up and he was adopted by a mother. MARLEY is a very gentle kitten. He is affectionate and purrs. He loves to play and is litter trained. Okay for dogs. Update as of 16/02/2021: MARLEY was adopted after the first lockdown but returned to the association because the cohabitation with the family's cat did not work out. The change of environment stressed him a lot. Therefore, he will need some patience at first to feel comfortable in his new environment. Update as of 21/05/2021: MARLEY is still marked by his pre-adoption departure. He needs secure outdoor access and children will not suit him. Adopters must be aware that patience will be needed and he will probably not become very affectionate again. Currently in foster care with Lætitia.

Marley a été abandonné à l’âge de 7 jours devant la porte d’un vétérinaire. Heureusement nous l’avons récupéré et il a été adopté par une maman. Marley est un petit chat très tendre. Il est câlin et ronronne. Il adore jouer et est propre. Ok chiens. Actualisation au 16/02/2021 : Marley était parti à l’adoption après le 1er confinement mais il est revenu à l’association car la cohabitation avec le chat de la famille ne se faisait pas. Le changement d’environnement l’a beaucoup stressé. Il lui faudra donc un peu de patience dans un premier temps pour qu’il soit à l’aise dans son nouvel environnement. Actualisation au 21/05/2021 : Marley reste marqué par son départ en pré-adoption. Il a besoin d’un accès extérieur sécurisé et les enfants ne lui conviendront pas. Les adoptants doivent être conscients qu’il faudra de la patience et qu’il ne redeviendra probablement pas très câlin. En accueil chez Lætitia.
