SNIPPER

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

SNIPPER came to us from the animal pound, after being taken to a veterinary clinic because he had been found injured. The cause: a bullet had shattered his leg below the shoulder. The bone had already healed badly, so we had to amputate. The operation went very well, and he can now go to his new family. SNIPPER is a very affectionate cat who clearly hasn't had an easy life. Although he tolerates other cats, he hasn't quite learned all the social rules and can sometimes be a bit rough with them when he wants to play or defend his food bowl. With people, he loves being stroked, especially on the head, and often starts purring loudly. However, in his excitement he may sometimes grab your hand a little abruptly, so young children are best avoided. SNIPPER can be seen in Liverdy en Brie. To meet him, contact 06.89.37.54.33.

SNIPPER nous vient de la fourrière, apres avoir été deposé dans une clinique vétérinaire car il avait été trouvé blessé. Pour cause, une balle est venue lui broyer la patte sous l'épaule ; celle ci s'etant deja mal reconsolidée, nous avons du l'amputer. L'operation s'est tres bien passé et il peut maintenant rejoindre sa famille. SNIPPER est un chat très attachant qui n'a pas du avoir une vie facile. Même s'il tolère les autres chats, il n'a pas du recevoir tous les codes et peut parfois être un peu brut avec eux lorsqu'il veut jouer ou défendre sa gamelle. Avec les humains, il aime bien les caresses, surtout sur la tête, et met régulièrement le moteur a ronron en route, cependant dans l'excitation, il peut parfois attraper, un peu brusquement, votre main. On evitera donc les enfants en bas âge. SNIPPER est visible à Liverdy en Brie. Pour le rencontrer, contactez le 06.89.37.54.33

About SNIPPER

What life with SNIPPER looks like

SNIPPER is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at L 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 SNIPPER, answered.

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