How do I contact the shelter about Pacha?

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 Pacha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pacha 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 Pacha 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 Pacha 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 Pacha 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.

Pacha

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Age: born on January 1, 2010 Breed: Chartreux mix Identification: 250 269 801 595 494 Physical characteristics: Pacha is a fairly large, slender cat with green eyes and gray fur. Tested negative for FIV/FelV, vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. Pacha has a special kidney diet and is positive for calicivirus, but is in good health. Personality: Pacha has shown affection since arriving at the house. It is a cat that enjoys the presence of its human roommates. Although it does not always seek contact on its own, you can be sure it will enjoy head and neck scratches and will not hesitate to ask for more! It will stay by your side during relaxed moments on the couch, and may even lie down on you when it feels like it. Despite his advanced age, he remains active and very curious: the slightest small noise or unusual action will make him come. He also tends to follow his human wherever he goes in the apartment to see what he is going to do! It is also a playful cat that enjoys playing with shoelaces, belt loops, or a plant stem, for example. Regarding food, Pacha knows how to show that he is hungry by going near his bowl while meowing. However, his few mouth injuries prevent him from eating the entire contents of his bowl at once; therefore, patience is needed while making sure he eats enough and preferring wet food. Background: his former owner was no longer able to take care of him and wanted to have him euthanized. Ideal placement: a quiet home, available to provide the necessary care, play with, and cuddle him, without other cats and without children under 8 years old. Contact: animal is available in foster care in Paris 12th arrondissement. Contact Karine by SMS (preferred), evening after 8pm or weekends, by email, or via web form.

FR·Show original

Age : né le 1er janvier 2010 Race : croisé chartreux Identification : 250 269 801 595 494 Caractéristiques physiques : Pacha est un chat assez grand, fin, aux yeux verts et au pelage gris. Testé FIV/FelV négatif, vacciné, castré et identifié par puce électronique. Pacha a une alimentation spéciale rénale et est positif au calicivirus, mais se porte bien. Caractère : Pacha s’est montré affectueux dès son arrivée à la maison. C’est un chat qui aime la présence de ses colocataires humains. Même s’il ne va pas toujours chercher le contact de lui-même, vous pouvez être sûrs qu’il appréciera les gratouilles sur la tête et dans le cou, et qu’il n’hésitera pas à en redemander ! Il restera à côté de vous lors des instants de détente sur le canapé, et peut même parfois s’allonger sur vous quand il en a envie. Du haut de son grand âge, il reste actif et très curieux : le moindre petit bruit ou action inhabituelle le fera venir. Il a aussi tendance à suivre son humain où qu’il aille dans l’appartement pour voir ce qu’il va fabriquer ! C’est également un chat joueur qui apprécie s’amuser avec lacets, bretelles ou bien tige d’une plante par exemple. Côté nourriture, Pacha sait faire comprendre qu’il a faim en allant près de sa gamelle tout en miaulant. Néanmoins, ses quelques blessures dans la bouche l’empêchent de manger tout le contenu de sa gamelle d’un coup ; il faut donc être patient tout en surveillant qu’il mange suffisamment et privilégier la nourriture humide. Histoire : son ancien propriétaire n’était plus capable de s’en occuper et voulait le faire euthanasier. Placement idéal : foyer calme, disponible pour lui prodiguer les soins nécessaires, le faire jouer et le câliner, sans autre chat et sans enfants de moins de 8 ans. Coordonnées : animal visible en famille d’accueil à Paris 12ème. Contacter Karine au 06 17 36 76 16 (par SMS de préférence, soir après 20h & WE), par mail ou par formulaire web .
