How do I contact the shelter about VADIM?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Rêves de chiens handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw VADIM on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt VADIM if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Rêves de chiens 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 VADIM 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 VADIM 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 Refuge Rêves de chiens early rather than rehoming privately; they know VADIM 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.

VADIM

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

VADIM is the brother of Walker and Yoko. 3 very timid kittens. When he arrived, he was a kitten who played with the house cats, who wasn't afraid of the dog, but he remained timid, fearful of humans. After several months of building trust, VADIM slowly gained confidence in humans. He likes to be petted, and quickly becomes a purring machine. He still does not like to be carried. He is a kitten quite close to humans, he seeks contact with his family and is becoming more and more confident. He is a food lover. He will need some time to adapt to his new family. Therefore, he needs a patient family. Socialization: VADIM is okay with cats and okay with dogs. Litter box: He is clean. Diet: He eats wet food in the morning and evening and dry kibble as much as he wants. Environment: Adoptable in a secure apartment. Update as of 10/08/2025: VADIM is a kind cat, not aggressive but still has some difficulty with humans.

FR·Show original

Vadim est le frère de Walker et Yoko. 3 chatons très craintifs. A son arrivée, c’était un chaton qui jouait avec les chats de la maison, qui n’avait pas peur de la chienne, mais il restait craintif, peureux de l’humain. Après plusieurs mois de mise en confiance, Vadim a pris doucement confiance en l’humain. Il aime être caressé, et devient vite une boîte à ronrons. Il ne se laisse pas encore porter. C’est un chaton assez proche de l’humain, il cherche le contact avec sa famille et est de plus en plus confiant. C’est un chaton gourmand. Il aura besoin d’un peu de temps pour s’adapter à sa nouvelle famille. Il lui faudra donc une famille patiente. Sociabilité : Vadim est ok chats et ok chien. Propreté : Il est propre. Alimentation : Il mange de la pâtée matin et soir et des croquettes à volonté. Environnement : Adoptable en appartement sécurisé. Actualisation au 10/08/2025 : Vadim est un gentil chat, pas agressif mais a encore du mal avec l’humain. Il reste craintif et la taille de l’hum
