Adopt Poutchino

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 14 years

The cats listed as "rescue" have an even more urgent need to find a family. This can be due to their age, a specific illness, or distress at the shelter. Poutchino arrived at the shelter because his owner unfortunately could no longer take care of him. He is a social and affectionate cat who particularly enjoys the company of humans and shared moments. Very close to humans, he is gentle and pleasant to live with on a daily basis. He also enjoys the presence of children, with whom he is at ease and kind. As for his interactions, they are not yet known. Therefore, a gradual cohabitation with other animals will need to be considered, with gentle introductions. Poutchino has always lived indoors and will therefore be comfortable in a stable, calm, and safe environment. He does not need access to the outdoors and will perfectly thrive in an indoor life.

Les chats signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Poutchino est arrivé au refuge car sa propriétaire ne pouvait malheureusement plus s’occuper de lui. C’est un chat sociable et affectueux, qui apprécie particulièrement la compagnie des humains et les moments de partage. Très proche de l’homme, il se montre doux et agréable à vivre au quotidien. Il aime également la présence des enfants, avec lesquels il se montre à l’aise et bienveillant. Concernant ses ententes, elles ne sont pas encore connues. Une cohabitation avec d’autres animaux devra donc être envisagée progressivement, avec des présentations en douceur. Poutchino a toujours vécu en intérieur et sera donc à l’aise dans un environnement stable, calme et sécurisant. Il n’a pas besoin d’accès à l’extérieur et pourra parfaitement s’épanouir en vie intérieure.

About Poutchino

What life with Poutchino looks like

Poutchino is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Frequently asked

Adopting Poutchino, answered.

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