Stratos

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 6 months

Stratos and his siblings arrived at the "Le Passage" animal shelter. Unfortunately, their early life was particularly difficult. Shortly after their arrival, they contracted meningitis, which caused severe neurological problems and required hospitalization. Unfortunately, one of them did not survive. The three surviving kittens fought with all their strength. After a difficult journey, they are now doing very well and can finally enjoy their life as kittens. Stratos is a discreet and curious kitten. He observes his environment a lot and likes to discover it at his own pace. He also enjoys quiet moments. Very playful and full of energy, he loves playing with a stick or even just a shoelace. He can spend hours playing, alone or with his human. Although he is independent in his games, he also knows how to relax. He is a little gourmand who loves croquettes and never hesitates when there are any! He doesn't like loud noises and prefers quiet to feel safe. He doesn't know the outdoors, but he seems intrigued by his surroundings. He likes to sleep in hidden and quiet places, away from the hustle and bustle. He is a clean kitten who knows the litter box. I like / I don't like: He has only been tested with his sisters, with whom everything goes well. His compatibility with other cats, dogs, and children could not be tested. Gradual introductions will be necessary.

Mon histoire : Stratos et ses frères et sœurs sont arrivés par le biais de la fourrière « Le Passage ». Malheureusement, leur début de vie a été particulièrement difficile. Peu de temps après leur arrivée, ils ont contracté une méningite qui a entraîné de lourds problèmes neurologiques et nécessité une hospitalisation. Ils se sont malheureusement retrouvés entre la vie et la mort, et malgré tous les soins apportés, l’un d’entre eux n’a pas réussi à survivre. Les trois petits rescapés, eux, se sont battus de toutes leurs forces. Après un parcours difficile, ils vont aujourd’hui très bien et peuvent enfin profiter pleinement de leur vie de chatons. Mon caractère : Stratos est un chaton discret et plein de curiosité. Il observe beaucoup son environnement et aime le découvrir à son rythme. Il apprécie aussi les moments calmes. Très joueur et plein d'énergie, il adore les moments de jeu, avec un bâton ou même un simple lacet. Il peut passer des heures à s'amuser, seul ou avec son humain. Même s'il est indépendant dans ses jeux, il sait aussi se poser. C'est un petit gourmand qui adore les croquettes et n'hésite jamais quand il y en a ! Il n'aime pas trop le bruit et préfère le calme pour se sentir en sécurité. Il ne connaît pas l'extérieur, mais il semble intrigué par ce qui l'entoure. Il aime dormir dans des endroits cachés et tranquilles, à l'abri de l'agitation. C'est un chaton propre, qui connaît la litière. J'aime / J'aime pas : Côté ententes, il a été testé uniquement avec ses sœurs, avec qui tout se passe bien. Sa compatibilité avec les autres chats, les chiens et les enfants n'a pas pu être testée. Des présentations progressives seront à prévoir.

About Stratos

What life with Stratos looks like

Stratos is a kitten european shorthair cat waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Stratos, answered.

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