Witch

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 6 years

Identified by microchip Type: European Color: White - Fur: short Neutered Tested FIV (AIDS) and FELV (Leukemia) negative Vaccinated for Typhus and cat flu Health: Probably deaf or partially, otherwise all is well. At the shelter Hello everyone! I'm Witch! I arrived at the shelter on Halloween and was very shy, hence my name. The volunteers who take care of me realized that, like many white cats with blue eyes, I was unfortunately deaf. Imagine the stress that is constant. Picture yourself in my place: you don't hear people approaching, you are in an unknown place, you are scared and then someone touches you by surprise. I don't do it on purpose, but my reactions can seem a bit exaggerated when I am caught off guard: paws, startles... Read more... At the shelter, I have an awesome aunt who is trying to teach me sign language for cats: when to climb on a cushion, when to calm down... I am a nice cat, who needs to be in the company of one or more cat friends to feel secure. For now, I am closer to other animals of the same species than to humans, but I am learning to trust, especially thanks to treats which I am addicted to. I come to eat them from your hand, which I will lick to not miss a crumb. I love feeling the wind in my whiskers, and I would need a secure outside area (garden or terrace) because I don't hear the dangers approaching. However, due to my white color, I am very sensitive to sunburns on my ears and I would need either sunscreen (yes I am very serious, it's like you at the beach or hiking), or to stay protected in our house or apartment. I think the option of a hat and sunglasses for cats is not available yet. I would love to know the joy and security of a home, with a friend (or friends); a home with you who would continue to teach me a sign language just for us and who would be ready to adopt the ball of love that I am. I have tons of love to offer you, even if I don't show it right away by purring on your laps. We cats can express our attachment in other ways and I will know how to be a charming companion if you give me time to win you over. I am sure that you, super bipedal and big-hearted people, have read me and already fallen for my photos! I am waiting for you at the shelter and I am eager to meet you!

Identifié par puce électronique Type : Européen Couleur : Blanc - Pelage : court Castré Test FIV (Sida) - FELV (Leucose) négatif Vacciné Typhus et Coryza Santé : Probablement sourd ou partiellement, sinon tout va bien. Au refuge Je suis arrivé au refuge le jour d’Halloween et j’étais très peureux, d’où mon prénom. Les bénévoles qui prennent soin de moi se sont aperçues que comme beaucoup de chats blancs avec des yeux bleus, j’étais malheureusement sourd. Je ne vous raconte pas le stress que cela est en permanence. Imaginez-vous à ma place : vous n’entendez pas les gens approcher, vous êtes dans un lieu inconnu, vous avez peur et là, on vous touche par surprise. Lire plus... Je ne le fais pas exprès, mais mes réactions peuvent sembler un peu exagérées quand on me surprend : coups de pattes, sursauts… Au refuge, j’ai une super tata qui essaye de m’apprendre le langage des signes pour chat : quand monter sur un coussin, quand me calmer… Je suis un gentil matou, qui a besoin d’être en compagnie d’un ou plusieurs copains chats pour être rassuré. Pour le moment je suis plus proche de mes congénères que des humains mais j’apprends à faire confiance notamment grâce aux friandises auxquelles je suis accro. Je viens les manger dans votre main, que je lécherai pour ne pas en perdre une miette. J’aime sentir le vent dans mes moustaches, et j’aurais besoin d’un extérieur sécurisé (jardin ou terrasse) car je n’entends pas les dangers approcher. Cependant, en raison de ma couleur blanche, je suis très sensible aux coups de soleil sur les oreilles et j’aurai besoin soit de crème solaire (oui je suis très sérieux, c’est comme vous à la plage ou en randonnée), soit de rester à l’abri dans notre maison ou appartement. Je crois que l’option casquette et lunettes de soleil pour chat n’est pas encore disponible. J’aimerais tellement connaître la joie et la sécurité d’un foyer, avec un copain (ou des copains) ; un foyer avec vous qui continueriez à m’apprendre un langage des signes juste à nous et qui seriez prêt à adopter la boule d’amour que je suis. J’ai des tonnes d’amour à vous offrir, même si je ne vous le démontre pas tout de suite en venant ronronner sur vos genoux. Nous les chats, on peut exprimer notre attachement d’autres manières et je saurai être un compagnon attachant si vous me laissez le temps de vous conquérir. Je suis certain que vous, supers bipèdes expérimentés et au grand cœur, m’avez lu et avez déjà craqué sur mes photos ! Je vous attends au refuge et je suis impatient de vous rencontrer !

About Witch

What life with Witch looks like

Witch is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Le Regroupement Des Chats Perdus in France.

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 Witch, answered.

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