How do I contact the shelter about Noctali?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Noctali on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Noctali if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Noctali 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 Noctali 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Noctali 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.

Adopt Noctali

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Age: born on 30.04.2025 Identification: 250 269 611 834 419 Physical characteristics: beautiful black fur with brown touches on the belly, beautiful yellow/green eyes depending on the light. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tests negative. Personality: Noctali is a very gentle and affectionate cat. He loves snuggling up to his human and starts purring as soon as he is picked up. He also enjoys calm moments, sleeping peacefully in a sunlit corner. Very expressive and enthusiastic at mealtime, he remains calm and respectful of his humans' routine. Vigorous and athletic, Noctali loves playing with interactive games like the fishing rod, and shows great agility in his small jumps. He may still scratch the furniture occasionally, mostly to attract attention, but it remains light and can easily be redirected with scratching posts. In summary, Noctali is an adorable, tender, and endearing companion, eager to love and be loved. History: Found wandering in the courtyard of a hospital. Ideal placement: To be adopted into a loving home, quite present, with a minimum of 45m2. A secure outdoor area would be a plus but is not mandatory. Coordinates: Noctali is visible in foster care in Paris 10th arrondissement. Contact Karine at (preferably by SMS, after 19:00 & weekends), by email, or through the web form.

Age : né le 30.04.2025 Identification : 250 269 611 834 419 Caractéristiques physiques : belle robe noire avec touches de marron sur le ventre, beaux yeux jaunes/ verts selon la lumière. Castré, vacciné, identifié par puce électronique, test Fiv/FeLV négatifs. Caractère : Noctali est un chat très doux et affectueux. Il adore se blottir contre son humain et se met à ronronner dès qu’on le porte. Il apprécie aussi les moments calmes, à dormir paisiblement dans un coin au soleil. Très expressif et enthousiaste à l’heure des repas, il reste cependant sage et respectueux du rythme de vie de ses humains. Vif et athlétique, Noctali aime jouer avec des jeux interactifs comme la canne à pêche, et se montre très agile dans ses petits sauts. Il peut encore faire quelques griffades sur les meubles, surtout pour attirer l’attention, mais cela reste léger et pourra facilement être réorienté avec des griffoirs. En résumé, Noctali est un compagnon adorable, tendre et attachant, qui ne demande qu’à aimer et être aimé. Histoire : Trouvé errant dans la cour d’un hôpital. Placement idéal : À adopter dans un foyer aimant, assez présent, dans 45m2 minimum. Un extérieur sécurisé serait un “plus” sans être obligatoire. Coordonnées : chat visible en famille d’accueil à Paris 10ème. Contacter Karine au 06 17 36 76 16 (de préférence par SMS, soir après 19h & WE), par mail ou par formulaire web .

About Noctali

What life with Noctali looks like

Noctali is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 in Paris.

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.
