SALEM

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

Nous venons de recueillir Salem, un adorable chat âgé entre 4 et 6 ans. Nous ne connaissons pas toute son histoire, mais nous savons qu’il a passé une grande partie de sa vie dans la rue. Aujourd’hui, Salem découvre enfin le bonheur d’être pris en charge par un foyer. On le sent apaisé et rassuré, heureux d’être entouré d’humains dont il recherche volontiers la compagnie et les caresses. Doux, calme et très affectueux, Salem est aussi sociable, joueur et propre. Il ne semble d’ailleurs pas particulièrement intéressé par l’extérieur. Après toutes ces années dans la rue, il apprécie visiblement le confort d’une maison ! Petit gourmand, il raffole des bonnes pâtées, ces petits plaisirs qui ont certainement dû lui manquer pendant toutes ces années d’errance. 💕 Il ne lui manque plus qu’une famille aimante pour profiter pleinement de cette nouvelle vie. 🔺Le placement se fera uniquement en appartement avec balcon sécurisé ou en maison avec accès à l’extérieur sécurisé.

About SALEM

What life with SALEM looks like

SALEM is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Centre de Protection des Animaux de Saint-Cyprien in 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting SALEM, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SALEM?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Centre de Protection des Animaux de Saint-Cyprien handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw SALEM on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SALEM if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Centre de Protection des Animaux de Saint-Cyprien 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is SALEM 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 SALEM 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 Centre de Protection des Animaux de Saint-Cyprien early rather than rehoming privately; they know SALEM 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.
