How do I contact the shelter about Rhapsody?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rhapsody on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rhapsody if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Rhapsody 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 Rhapsody 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rhapsody 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.

Rhapsody

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Magnificent orange and white cat with medium-long hair, Norwegian type. FIV/Felv negative, vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Rhapsody is a well-behaved and sociable cat. He is calm and quiet but enjoys occasional fishing. He is very gentle, does not scratch, bite or steal. He is not particularly curious or adventurous, but he is very sociable and enjoys the presence of humans and is a great big brother to younger kittens. He also likes to sleep on the couch, bed or on a mat. He is calm and independent at night. However, he prefers all doors to be open, to roam as he pleases. In the morning, he knows to wait for the wake-up time to ask for his food. He enjoys contact and lets himself be petted and carried. If he does not necessarily seek cuddles, he can purr shyly when you come to give him scratches, especially under the throat! He has made a lot of progress since arriving in foster care, he is a lovely cat with a lot to offer! History: Found outside and entrusted to the association. Ideal placement: In a calm, loving and caring home. He may appreciate the presence of another friendly fellow like him, or he can be adopted alone. Contact: Marie-Pierre volunteer, 06 08 89 85 26 (evening after 19 hours & WE), by mail or web form.

Il n’est pas spécialement curieux ni aventurier, mais il est très sociable et apprécie la présence des humains et pour ses congénères c’est un super grand frère, surtout pour les jeunes chatons. Il aime aussi dormir sur le canapé, le lit ou sur un tapis. La nuit, il est calme et indépendant. Par contre il préfère que toutes les portes soient ouvertes, pour se promener comme bon lui semble. Le matin, il sait attendre l’heure du réveil pour demander sa pâtée. Il apprécie le contact et se laisse caresser et porter. S’il ne vient pas nécessairement chercher les câlins, il peut ronronner timidement quand on vient lui en faire surtout des gratouilles sous la gorge ! Il a fait beaucoup de progrès depuis son arrivée en famille d’accueil, c’est un amour de chat qui a beaucoup à offrir ! Histoire : Trouvé dehors et confié à l’association. Placement idéal : Dans un foyer calme, aimant et attentionné. Il peut apprécier la présence d’un autre congénère gentil comme lui, ou il peut être adopté seul.
