Type/Race : Européen (NON LOOF) Âge : née le 22/04/2021 N identification : 250269590653914 Histoire : portée chatte errante Caractère : Shalimar est une minette joueuse, curieuse qui apprécie les caresses, ce n’était pas le cas au début mais elle s’est vite rendue compte que ce n’était pas désagréable de se faire chouchouter ! Un peu craintive quand elle ne connaît pas, une fois en confiance elle vient rechercher le contact. Frais d’adoption : 115 euros L’adoption hors de France est tout à fait possible. Il faut cependant majorer le montant de l’adoption des frais relatifs à la sortie du territoire (vaccin rage et passeport obligatoires 21 jours avant son départ). L’adoptant doit pouvoir également se rendre dans la famille d’accueil pour rencontrer l’animal. Testé fiv/felv : OUI, négatif

About Shalimar

What life with Shalimar looks like

Shalimar is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Action 4 Pets 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shalimar, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shalimar?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Action 4 Pets handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shalimar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shalimar if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Action 4 Pets 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 Shalimar 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 Shalimar 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 Action 4 Pets early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shalimar 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.
