Nout

European Shorthair · Male

I’m part of a rescue that dates back more than a year... There were over 26 cats rescued from difficult conditions at the time 💔 Today, all of them have found their forever families—except me. Why? Because I’m more timid than the others. Because no one has yet given me a chance. Over time, humans have learned to know me better. I’m a cat who, once trust is established, shows himself to be kind and playful... but I’ll always retain a bit of an independent streak 💛 I also have a special trait: I’m epileptic. For now, I don’t need any medication, as my seizures remain spaced out (about once a month or every two months). It just requires vigilance and a stable environment. I’m not the “easiest” cat... But I’m a cat who deserves to be given time. 💛 What I’d really need? Patient, caring people who’re ready to walk alongside me, helping me overcome my fears and finally experience a real family life. Because after everything I’ve been through... ✨ I, too, deserve the very best.

J’ai été trouvé par le refuge lors d’une saisie. Nous étions 26 chats à être sortis de conditions difficiles…Aujourd’hui, tous mes compagnons ont trouvé leur famille pour la vie. Il ne reste plus que moi. Choqué par ce que j’ai vécu, je suis assez craintif. J’ai besoin qu’on m’accorde du temps pour donner ma confiance et d’avoir un espace à moi dans lequel me réfugier, le temps de me sentir à l’aise.Avec le temps, les humains ont appris à mieux me connaître. Je suis un chat qui, une fois en confiance, se montre gentil, joueur… mais je garderai toujours un petit côté indépendant. J’ai aussi une particularité : je suis épileptique. Pour le moment, je n’ai pas besoin de traitement, car mes crises restent espacées (environ une fois par mois ou tous les deux mois). Cela demande simplement de la vigilance et un environnement stable.Je ne suis pas le chat le plus facile à vivre à cause de mon handicap, mais je suis un chat qui mérite qu’on prenne le temps. Ma famille idéale ? Des personnes patientes, bienveillantes, prêtes à m’accompagner pour m’aider à dépasser mes peurs et à découvrir enfin une vraie vie de famille. Parce qu’après tout ce que j’ai vécu… Moi aussi, j’ai droit au meilleur.

About Nout

What life with Nout looks like

Nout is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Association Quatre Pattes, Un Toit in Saint-Sauveur.

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.

🇫🇷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 Nout, answered.

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