Roquette

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 3 months

My story: Roquette came to us through a free cat adoption program. My personality: Roquette is an adorable little cat who can be a bit shy when meeting new people or exploring a new environment. But all it takes is a few gentle strokes, and everything changes—his purrs kick in instantly! Once he feels comfortable and trusts you, he loves cuddly moments and shows just how sweet and gentle he can be. Roquette is also a very playful kitten. He absolutely loves chasing tiny plush mice, balls, and any toys that let him burn off energy and give free rein to his natural hunting instincts. After a good play session, he enjoys taking long naps—either sprawled out on a cozy rug or comfortably nestled up in a cat tree, where he feels completely safe. He’s also a little gourmet who absolutely adores his kibble…and never says no to a few tasty treats! He’s fully litter-trained and uses his litter box perfectly. Likes / Dislikes: Compatibility: • OK with other cats • OK with dogs • OK with children who respect his need for peace and quiet For now, Roquette isn’t asking for outdoor access. It’s possible his desires might change as he grows older, but right now, an indoor life suits him just fine. Roquette is a gentle, playful, and endearing kitten who’s looking for a patient family willing to give him the time he needs to feel secure. Once he’s reassured, he’ll shower his humans with purrs, games, and tender moments of shared affection.

Mon histoire : Roquette est arrivé grâce à une convention chat libre. Mon caractère : Roquette est un adorable petit chat qui peut se montrer un peu timide lorsqu’il découvre de nouvelles personnes ou un nouvel environnement. Mais il suffit de quelques caresses pour que tout change : ses ronrons démarrent au quart de tour ! Une fois en confiance, il apprécie les moments de tendresse et montre toute sa douceur. Roquette est également un chaton très joueur. Il adore courir après les petites souris en peluche, les balles et tous les jouets qui lui permettent de se dépenser et de laisser parler son instinct de chasseur. Après une bonne séance de jeu, il aime faire de longues siestes, soit bien étalé sur un tapis, soit confortablement installé dans un arbre à chat, où il se sent en sécurité. C’est aussi un petit gourmand qui raffole de ses croquettes… et qui ne dit jamais non à quelques friandises ! Il est propre et utilise parfaitement sa litière. J'aime / J'aime pas : Ententes :• OK chats • OK chiens • OK enfants respectueux de son besoin de tranquillité Pour le moment, Roquette ne réclame pas l’extérieur. Il est possible que ses envies évoluent en grandissant, mais aujourd’hui, une vie en intérieur lui convient très bien.Roquette est un chaton doux, joueur et attachant, qui recherche une famille patiente, prête à lui laisser le temps de prendre confiance. Une fois rassuré, il saura combler ses humains de ronrons, de jeux et de tendres moments de complicité.

About Roquette

What life with Roquette looks like

Roquette is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Roquette, answered.

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