💛 Max, 10 years of love to give A survivor of the worst of human intentions, Max still bears the marks of the street… but also an immense heart for whoever knows how to love him gently. Purring, tenderness and infinite gratitude guaranteed. Sex: male Date of birth: 01/01/2015 Identification: 250 26 87 81 49 41 73 Foster family: Armelle Location: Villiers-sur-Morin (77) Hi friends, My name is MAX and I'm a big, good-natured softie of 10 years old. Everyone tells me it's kitten season, well yes, okay! But I'm a big kitten too, and I also have the right to be adopted into a good family, don't I? I come from Meaux in the 77 and I have several times nearly been killed by ill-intentioned people. A witness saw someone try to do it with their bare hands!! This created real trauma in me, and even today I need a lot of time to learn to trust. So, to start with, I am positive for feline AIDS (FIV), the result of a life of wandering as an intact tomcat, but I

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Orfélins in orfelins.

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.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. 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. Orfélins 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 — Orfélins 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Orfélins 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.
