Max

European Shorthair · Male

I'm Max, more of an independent fella. I do love some cuddles, but when I'm had enough, I like to do my own thing. Children are not recommended around me, as I struggle with manipulation and agitation. Plus, I'm completely deaf. Given my deafness, an apartment life is highly recommended. The adoption fee is 175€, which covers veterinary costs (FIV/FELV negative test, microchipping, initial vaccinations, neutering, and deworming). The our shelter is open every day from Monday to Sunday (except Tuesdays) from 2 PM to 5 PM.

FR·Show original

Moi, c'est Max, plutôt indépendant, je réclame des câlins mais quand je sature, je fais ma vie. La présence des enfants est déconseillée, en effet, j'ai du mal à supporter les manipulations et l'agitation, de plus, je suis totalement sourd. Etant donné ma surdité, une vie en appartement est fortement conseillée. L'adoption s'élève à 175€, cela comprend les frais vétérinaires (testé FIV/FELV négatif, l’identification par puce électronique, la primo-vaccination, la castration, le déparasitage). Le refuge est ouvert tous les jours du lundi au dimanche (sauf les mardis) de 14H à 17H.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

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 Max, answered.

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