MARLEY

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 6 years

MARLEY was found wandering and has since joined a foster family, who, with patience and gentleness, gradually earned its trust. Today, MARLEY is discovering family life and becoming increasingly at ease. It particularly enjoys long naps on the couch, finally enjoying a calm and reassuring environment. MARLEY will absolutely need access to the outdoors, which is essential to its well-being. MARLEY is FIV-positive (feline immunodeficiency virus) and therefore qualifies for a reduced adoption fee. Contrary to popular belief, an FIV-positive cat can live a beautiful and long life, surrounded by love. ✨The team at our shelter supports you throughout the adoption process of an FIV-positive cat and remains of course available to answer any of your questions.

Marley – 5 ans, RESERVE Marley a été trouvé errant et a depuis rejoint une famille d’accueil qui, avec patience et douceur, a réussi petit à petit à gagner sa confiance. Aujourd’hui, Marley découvre la vie de famille et prend de plus en plus ses aises. Il apprécie notamment les longues siestes sur le canapé, profitant enfin d’un environnement calme et rassurant. Marley aura impérativement besoin d’un accès à l’extérieur, indispensable à son équilibre. Marley est positif au FIV (virus de l’immunodéficience féline) et bénéficie donc d’un tarif d’adoption réduit. Contrairement aux idées reçues, un chat FIV+ peut vivre une belle et longue vie, entouré d’amour. ✨L’équipe du refuge vous accompagne lors de l’adoption d’un chat FIV+ et reste bien sûr disponible pour répondre à toutes vos questions.🐾

About MARLEY

What life with MARLEY looks like

MARLEY 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 MARLEY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MARLEY?
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 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 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 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 Angoumois 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.
