How do I contact the shelter about Melchior?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Des Coeurs à Sauver handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Melchior on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Melchior if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Des Coeurs à Sauver 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 Melchior 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 Melchior 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 Des Coeurs à Sauver early rather than rehoming privately; they know Melchior 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.

Melchior

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Melchior has a small message for you 💖 Melchior is up for adoption SOS and sponsorship. Hello friends, I am Melchior, a gentle cat who lived outdoors for many long years. I was monitored in a free-roaming cat colony for years, but recently, my caregiver noticed that I wasn't acting like myself. So I was taken in and saw the veterinarian. It turned out that I had a major dental crisis and had to have my teeth removed. We also discovered that I carry FIV. But today, after important care, I am feeling much better, and I am looking for a warm home to finish my life surrounded by care and love. Soft food and monitoring of my mouth will be necessary. I am very shy, but very gentle. I have lived enough miserable years, and it is time for me to settle in a warm home where I will be given time and love. I am waiting for you. I am OK with cats. See you soon.

Melchior a un petit message pour vous 💖 Melchior à l'adoption SOS et parrainage. Coucou les amis, moi je suis Melchior, gentil chat qui a de longues années durant, vécu dehors. J'étais surveillé sur une colonie de chats libres depuis des années mais depuis quelques temps, ma nourrisseuse voyait que je n'étais pas comme d'habitude. On m'a donc mis à l'abri et j'ai été voir le vétérinaire. Il s'avère que j'ai eu une grosse crise sur mes dents et on a du me les retirer. On a aussi décelé que j'étais porteur du FIV. Mais aujourd'hui, après des soins importants je vais mieux, et je cherche un doux foyer pour terminer ma vie entouré de soins et d'amour. Il faudra privilégier une nourriture molle et une surveillance de ma bouche. Je suis très timide, mais très gentil. J'ai vécu assez d'années de misère et il est temps pour moi de poser mes pattes au chaud, dans un foyer qui saura me donner du temps et de l'amour. Je n'attends plus que vous. Je suis OK chats. A très vite. Melchior 📢 Melchior est disponible en parrainage 🫶 En parrainant Melchior, vous contribuez à son bien-être, et vous participez aux frais vétérinaires.
