Tchico

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 14 years

Tchico is back at the shelter due to noise complaints from his previous home, deemed too loud for the neighborhood. He's a cat who has already experienced family life and now seeks an environment more suited to his pace. Tchico is a gentle cat who enjoys cuddles and human contact. With age, he primarily seeks calm, tranquility, and a peaceful life. His return to the shelter doesn't diminish his gentleness but highlights a need for a more serene and less demanding environment.

Les chats signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Tchico est de retour au refuge suite à des plaintes de voisinage liées à des nuisances sonores, jugées trop importantes dans son précédent foyer. C’est un chat qui a déjà connu une vie en famille et qui recherche aujourd’hui un environnement plus adapté à son rythme. Tchico est un chat gentil, qui apprécie les câlins et le contact humain. Avec l’âge, il recherche avant tout le calme, la tranquillité et une vie paisible. Son retour au refuge ne remet pas en cause sa douceur, mais met en évidence un besoin d’environnement plus serein et moins contraignant.

About Tchico

What life with Tchico looks like

Tchico is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tchico, answered.

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