RUTHERFORD CHA

Mixed Breed · Male

Rutherford has just arrived at the shelter and already seems quite sociable! He will need to live indoors or in an apartment with no outdoor access and must be the only cat in the household. Currently, Rutherford has tested positive for FIV (feline AIDS). A second test will be performed at 6 months old during his spay/neuter surgery to confirm or rule out this result.

Rutherford vient tout juste d’arriver au refuge et il semble déjà plutôt sociable ! Il devra vivre en maison sans accès à l'extérieur ou en appartement et devra être le seul chat du foyer. Actuellement, Rutherford a été testé positif au FIV (sida du chat). Un second test sera refait à ses 6 mois, lors de sa stérilisation, pour confirmer ou non ce résultat.

About RUTHERFORD CHA

What life with RUTHERFORD CHA looks like

RUTHERFORD CHA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Chamarande in Chamarande.

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 RUTHERFORD CHA, answered.

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