Maurice

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

Maurice is a timid but kind cat who has been found wandering and injured before being taken in by the shelter, where he received the necessary care and gradually recovered from his injuries. He has experienced difficult times and is now looking for a stable and reassuring environment. Maurice needs time, patience, and gentleness to regain his confidence and adapt to his new home. His past wandering and his condition upon arrival explain his current reserve, but he already shows beautiful qualities and only asks to evolve at his own pace.

FR·Show original

Les chats signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Maurice a été trouvé errant et blessé avant d’être pris en charge par le refuge, où il a pu recevoir les soins nécessaires et se remettre progressivement de ses blessures. C’est un chat qui a connu des moments difficiles et qui recherche aujourd’hui un environnement stable et rassurant. Maurice est un chat timide mais gentil, qui aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour reprendre confiance et s’adapter à son nouveau foyer. Son passé d’errance et son état à son arrivée expliquent sa réserve actuelle, mais il montre déjà de belles qualités et ne demande qu’à évoluer à son rythme.

About Maurice

What life with Maurice looks like

Maurice is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maurice, answered.

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