Adopt Nino

Husky · Male · Senior · 14 years

Nino is fourteen years old. Life hasn't been kind to him, but his gentle green eyes hold all the world's love and a great capacity for resilience. One will be captivated by his long tiger-striped fur—even though he needed a little trim on his sides—and the quiet tenderness he exudes. He willingly approaches humans and begs for caresses, which are readily given. We dream of a real family and a soft basket for him to enjoy happy retirement days.

Read original (fr)

Nino est âgé de quatorze ans. La vie ne semble pas l'avoir épargné mais son doux regard vert porte en lui tout l'amour du monde et une grande capacité de résilience. On sera séduit par son long poil tigré _ même s'il a eu besoin d'une petite coupe sur les flancs _ et toute la tendresse silencieuse qu'il dégage. Il s'approche volontiers de l'humain et quémande des caresses qu'on lui accorde bien volontiers. On rêve pour lui d'une vraie famille et d'un panier moelleux pour qu'il coule des jours de retraite heureux.

About Nino

What life with Nino looks like

Nino is a senior husky cat waiting at Vallerargues) in Ales.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nino, answered.

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