MONTY

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 2 months

Monty - 3 months old, Monty is currently growing up in foster care with his sister Boulette and his brothers Timothé and Apache. He is the shyest of the siblings. Monty will need a calm, patient and caring home, ready to give him the time he needs to gain confidence and continue socializing at his own pace. But behind this small reserve is a very curious cat! Curious about his environment, Monty loves to explore and observe everything around him. A double adoption with one of his brothers or sisters is entirely possible. He could also join a home where a sociable and well-adjusted cat already lives, who could serve as a reference and help him gain confidence. ⚠️ Monty must absolutely stay indoors until his sterilization. This is mandatory at the age of 6 months for any kitten adopted from the shelter and remains the responsibility of the adopter. ✨ Monty is looking for a family willing to offer him time, patience and a lot of affection. Once reassured, his little adventurous side will only ask to express itself fully. 🐾 Monty is currently growing up in foster care with his sister Boulette and his brothers Timothé and Apache.

Monty – 3mois, Monty grandit actuellement en famille d’accueil aux côtés de sa sœur Boulette et de ses frères Timothé et Apache. C’est le plus timide de la fratrie. Monty aura besoin d’un foyer calme, patient et bienveillant, prêt à lui laisser le temps nécessaire pour prendre confiance et poursuivre sa sociabilisation à son rythme. Mais derrière cette petite réserve se cache un chaton très explorateur ! Curieux de son environnement, Monty aime partir à la découverte et observer tout ce qui l’entoure. Une double adoption avec l’un de ses frères ou sa sœur est tout à fait possible. Il pourra également rejoindre un foyer où vit déjà un chat sociable et bien dans ses pattes, qui pourra lui servir de repère et l’aider à prendre confiance. ⚠️ Monty devra impérativement rester en intérieur jusqu’à sa stérilisation. Celle-ci est obligatoire à l’âge de 6 mois pour tout chaton adopté au refuge et reste à la charge de l’adoptant. ✨ Monty recherche une famille prête à lui offrir du temps, de la patience et beaucoup de douceur. Une fois rassuré, son petit côté aventurier ne demandera qu’à s’exprimer pleinement. 🐾 Monty grandit actuellement en famille d’accueil aux côtés de sa sœur Boulette et de ses frères Timothé et Apache.

About MONTY

What life with MONTY looks like

MONTY is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 MONTY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MONTY?
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 MONTY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MONTY 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 MONTY 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 MONTY 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 MONTY 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.
