Sauvetage d&rsquo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Last afternoon, our intervention team was called to a store where a distressed cat was found in a trash bin at the establishment. Upon arrival, the caregivers found the poor animal seriously injured, frightened, and in obvious pain. The intervention was delicate, but after a few minutes, this approximately one-year-old kitten was rescued and taken to the veterinarian. Urgently treated at the An Atlantel clinic in Plouzané, "Nuage" was put to sleep for a complete clinical examination. After the X-rays, the diagnosis was made. The poor animal had severe consequences from an accident that occurred several days earlier. Unfortunately, his prognosis was critical and his condition was desperate. After long minutes of discussion between the veterinarian, his assistant, and the adoptunchat.org team, it was decided to end the suffering of the poor little Nuage, and he passed away gently in the arms of our caregivers. Investigations then began to find out how this partially paralyzed animal ended up in the trash bin. Was it an act of malice? Had he been thrown there? On the animal's body, pressure sores and abrasions were found, along with muscle atrophy in the hind limbs, indicating that his accident was not recent, probably more than ten days old. This could suggest that he had slipped into the container by himself. The answer would be found by reviewing the surveillance video. Indeed, after his accident, Nuage must have hidden and suffered for many days before dragging himself to the trash bins to find food. After a moment of hesitation, he jumped into the dumpster from which he could no longer escape, and that is how he was discovered by the store staff. We thank the store manager and staff for their welcome and quick reaction. Also, to Dr. Paul-Antoine BERNARD for the prompt care of this young cat. Unfortunately, we could not save Nuage, but we were able to relieve his suffering and ensure he passed without pain. This is also what our teams do.

Hier après-midi, notre équipe d’intervention est appelée dans un magasin pour un chat en détresse dans une poubelle de l’établissement. Arrivés sur place, les soigneurs constatent que le pauvre animal est gravement blessé, il est effrayé et doit être particulièrement douloureux. L’intervention est délicate mais au bout de quelques minutes ce jeune chat de 1 an environ est mis à l’abri et conduit chez le vétérinaire. Pris en charge en urgence à la clinique An Atlantel de Plouzané, « Nuage » est endormi pour faire un examen clinique complet, après les radios, le diagnostic tombe. Le pauvre animal a de graves séquelles d’un accident survenu plusieurs jours auparavant, malheureusement son pronostic vital est engagé et son état est désespéré. Après de longues minutes de réflexions entre le vétérinaire, son assistante et l’équipe d’adopteunchat.org, il est décidé d’abréger les souffrances du pauvre petit Nuage et c’est dans les bras de nos soigneurs qu’il s’éteindra doucement. Démarrent ensuite les investigations pour savoir comment ce pauvre animal, partiellement paralysé, a pu se retrouver dans la poubelle. Etait-ce un acte de malveillance ? A-t-il été jeté là ? Sur le corps de l’animal on retrouve des escarres ainsi que des abrasions, une fonte des muscles des membres postérieurs, ce qui indique que son accident n’est pas récent, vraisemblablement plus d’une dizaine de jours. Ce qui pourrait laisser penser qu’il s’est lui-même glissé dans le container. La réponse, nous allons la trouver par le visionnage de la vidéo surveillance. Et en effet, après son accident, Nuage a dû se cacher et souffrir de longs jours avant de se traîner jusqu’aux poubelles pour trouver de la nourriture. Après un temps d’hésitation, il se jettera dans la benne d’où il ne pourra plus sortir et c’est ainsi qu’il sera découvert par le personnel du magasin. Nous remercions le Directeur du magasin et le personnel pour son accueil et leur réaction rapide. Ainsi qu’au Dr. Paul-Antoine BERNARD pour la prise en charge rapide de ce jeune chat. Nous n’avons malheureusement pas pu sauver Nuage, mais nous avons pu soulager sa souffrance et fait en sorte qu’il parte sans douleur. C’est aussi ça le travail de nos équipes.

About Sauvetage d&rsquo

What life with Sauvetage d&rsquo looks like

Sauvetage d&rsquo is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at AdopteUnChat.org in Châteauneuf-du-Faou.

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 Sauvetage d&rsquo, answered.

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