VELVET

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

The sweet VELVET had a difficult beginning in life. Abandoned by her previous owners before she was spayed, she found herself alone, responsible for her four kittens. Fortunately, the whole little family was taken in and joined a foster family where she is now safe. Since her arrival, VELVET has finally enjoyed the warmth of a home, affection, and the attention she so deserves. VELVET is an adorable little kitten, calm and very affectionate. She appreciates tender moments and fully enjoys her new life in the foster family. After devoting all her energy to raising her babies, it is now time for VELVET to think of herself. This gentle mother deserves finally to know the stability, safety, and love of a family that will never abandon her.

About VELVET

What life with VELVET looks like

VELVET is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 VELVET, answered.

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