Adopt Sparrow

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

European (NON LOOF) Age: born on 05/19/2021 Identification number: 250268780114154 Character: Sparrow is talkative, playful, and affectionate. However, he does not like to be carried and is cautious when he does not know someone. He remains curious nonetheless. Sparrow is a walking belly. Therefore, care must be taken with food. Cleanliness is achieved but a jumbo type litter box will be needed as he does not have a sense of direction. Okay Dogs: Does not know. Adoption fee: 130 euros (membership included). Adoption outside France is entirely possible. However, the adoption amount must be increased by the costs related to leaving the territory (rabies vaccine and passport required 21 days before his departure). The adopter must also be able to visit the foster family to meet the animal. Tested FIV/FELV: YES, negative. To adopt, please complete this form: and, where it is mandatory, have a veterinarian or ASV complete this certificate before any meeting and present it to us after it has been signed: Finally, this cat does not suit you or is no longer available? We have others.

Type/Race : Européen (NON LOOF) Âge : né le 19/05/2021 N identification : 250268780114154 Caractère : Sparrow est bavard, joueur, câlin. Cela dit, il n’aime pas être porté et se méfie quand il ne connait pas. Il reste néanmoins curieux. Sparrow est un ventre sur patte. Aussi, il faudra faire attention à la nourriture. La propreté est acquise mais il faudra prévoir un bac type jumbo car il n’a pas le compas dans l’œil. Ok Chiens : Ne connait pas Frais d’adoption : 130 euros (adhésion comprise) 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 Pour l’adopter, merci de compléter ce formulaire : et dans la mesure où c’est obligatoire, de faire compléter avant toute rencontre, ce certificat par un vétérinaire ou une ASV et de nous le présenter après l’avoir signé : Finalement, ce chat ne vous correspond pas ou n’est plus disponible ? Nous en avons d’autres par ici

About Sparrow

What life with Sparrow looks like

Sparrow 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 Sparrow, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sparrow?
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 Sparrow on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sparrow 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 Sparrow 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 Sparrow 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 Sparrow 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.
