Quartz

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 11 years

Quartz is a very affectionate cat who loves cuddles, scratches and the company of his humans. 💛 🌱 A bit wary of new things, Quartz needs time to gain confidence in a new environment. With patience and gentleness, he adapts very well and reveals all his affection. 🍽️ A big foodie, he knows exactly how to make himself heard when mealtime approaches! Rather calm on a daily basis, he enjoys quiet moments, while having his own little character: when he's had enough, he knows how to let you know. 🏡 Quartz is looking for a caring family who will respect his rhythm and offer him a warm home where he can flourish fully. ❤️🐈‍⬛

About Quartz

What life with Quartz looks like

Quartz is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at AniMeaux in Meaux.

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.

🇫🇷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 Quartz, answered.

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