Van Ghog

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Van Gogh, le frère de Picasso, est un chaton qui a lui aussi connu des débuts difficiles sur un site de prolifération. Mais contrairement à son frère, il a gardé une certaine crainte et une réserve face à l’inconnu. Depuis, il évolue en famille d’accueil, où il apprend chaque jour à faire confiance et à découvrir les petites joies de la vie.Aujourd’hui, Van Gogh est un chaton sociable et joueur, mais avec une touche de prudence qui le rend encore plus attachant. Il explore le monde à son rythme, avec une curiosité discrète mais bien réelle. Il aime les moments de jeu, surtout s’ils sont calmes, et apprécie la présence des humains qui savent respecter sa timidité. Il n’est pas du genre à sauter partout ou à réclamer des câlins immédiatement, mais une fois qu’il se sent en sécurité, il se révèle tendre et reconnaissant.Grâce à sa vie en famille d’accueil, Van Gogh a fait d’énormes progrès. Il est désormais prêt à trouver un foyer aimant, où il pourra continuer à grandir en toute sérénité, entouré de douceur et de patience. Ce qui lui fera le plus de bien ? Des jeux tranquilles, des moments de calme et des humains qui sauront lui laisser le temps de s’adapter.Adopter Van Gogh, c’est offrir une seconde chance à un petit chaton doux, attachant et plein de potentiel. En échange, il vous offrira une présence apaisante, une affection sincère et une complicité qui se construira jour après jour. Prêts à lui tendre la main avec patience et bienveillance ?

About Van Ghog

What life with Van Ghog looks like

Van Ghog is a small puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Côtes d 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Van Ghog, answered.

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