Patrick

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Patrick was given to us due to overpopulation. He tested FIV + (positive for feline AIDS) and will therefore be placed in a home without outdoor access and can only live with other cats that are also positive. Patrick is very calm by nature but stressed by the shelter life. He has some difficulty trusting humans and will therefore need time to relax and calm down in his new environment. He can still be approached and petted but handling will need to be worked on. We are looking for a quiet home without young children (over 10 years old) where he can thrive and learn to trust his surroundings. (We remind you that a dated and signed engagement and knowledge certificate from 7 days is mandatory as well as all members of the household being present in order to adopt a kitten.)

FR·Show original

Patrick nous a été cédé suite à un surnombre. Il a été testé FIV + (sida positif) et sera donc placé dans un foyer sans accès extérieur et pourra vivre qu'avec des chats positifs eux aussi. Patrick est de nature très calme mais stressé par la vie de refuge. Il a un peu de mal à faire confiance aux humains et aura donc besoin de temps afin de se détendre et de s'apaiser dans son nouvel environnement. Il se laisse quand même approcher et caresser mais la manipulation sera à travailler. Nous lui recherchons un foyer calme sans jeunes enfants (+ de 10 ans) où il pourra s'épanouir comme il se doit et apprendre à faire confiance à son entourage. (Nous vous rappelons que le certificat d'engagement et de connaissance daté et signé de 7 jours est obligatoire ainsi que toutes les personnes du foyer soient présentes pour pouvoir adopter un minou)

About Patrick

What life with Patrick looks like

Patrick is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Amiens) in Poulainville.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Patrick, answered.

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