Raven

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 8 years

Raven 5 December 2023 ● His story: I was part of a group of cats that an elderly man thought it was good to let grow and grow until there were about thirty. This man passed away, and these two children wanted us to be euthanized. But fortunately, a neighbor contacted Pet's Rescue so that we could be taken care of, treated, spayed, and have a chance to be adopted. ● His personality: Hello, I'm Raven. I'm a big softie and I love cuddles. I'm also very fond of food. I don't like being confined, I like having access to the outside. When I walk, it looks like I'm showing off. I need both my independence and human warmth. My greatest wish is to finally find my home, my family. Come give me some scratches, I'll quickly become your best companion!

Raven 5 décembre 2023 ● Son histoire : Je faisais parti d’un groupe de chats qu’un monsieur âgé a cru bon de laisser grossir et grossir jusqu’à arriver à une trentaine. Ce monsieur est décédé, ces deux enfants voulaient que nous soyons euthanasiés. Mais heureusement, une voisine a contacté Pet’s Rescue pour que nous soyons pris en charge, soignés, stérilisés et que nous ayons une chance d’être adoptés. ● Son caractère : Salut, moi, c’est Raven. Je suis un gros pépère et j’adore les câlins. Je suis aussi très gourmand. Je supporte mal d’être enfermé, j’aime avoir accès à un extérieur. Quand je marche, on dirait que je roule des mécaniques. J’ai autant besoin de mon indépendance que de chaleur humaine. Mon plus grand souhait est de trouver enfin mon foyer, ma famille. Venez me faire des « papouilles », je deviendrai vite votre meilleur compagnon ! Fiche Adoption / Parrainage Identité Caractéristiques

About Raven

What life with Raven looks like

Raven is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SOS Animaux 23 in pet s rescue france.

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 Raven, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Raven?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SOS Animaux 23 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Raven on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Raven if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SOS Animaux 23 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 Raven 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 Raven 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 SOS Animaux 23 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Raven 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.
