Pitou

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

Un concentré de tendresse qui mérite enfin de retrouver le bonheur. Pitou est un adorable chat au grand cœur, aussi doux qu attachant. Très gentil, il adore la compagnie humaine et recherche les câlins et les moments de tendresse. Mais Pitou aime aussi avoir ses moments de tranquillité, dans un environnement calme où il peut se sentir en sécurité. Aujourd hui, nous lançons un appel urgent. Depuis son arrivée au refuge, Pitou vit très mal la vie en collectivité. Nous le voyons chaque jour de plus en plus triste, déprimé et malheureux. La présence permanente des nombreux chats du refuge est devenue très difficile à supporter pour lui. Nous devons absolument lui trouver une famille, (maison ou appartement), s ans enfants en bas âge, où il serait le seul animal. Dans un environnement paisible, entouré d amour et de patience, Pitou pourra enfin être heureux

About Pitou

What life with Pitou looks like

Pitou is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Association Secours Protection Animale (Manosque) in Manosque.

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 Pitou, answered.

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