How do I contact the shelter about Yakkaf?

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 Yakkaf on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Yakkaf 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 Yakkaf 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 Yakkaf 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 Yakkaf 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.

Yakkaf

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Yakkaf likely lived his entire life as a stray cat, which explains his great prudence and timidity towards humans. He was recently taken in by this breed, to be put in a safe environment and to be able to evolve in better conditions. He is a very fearful cat who remains extremely afraid of human presence today. He tends to reassure himself by constantly staying close to his feline companions, who represent a real support for him. His behavior shows that he needs a very calm, stable, and respectful environment of his rhythm to progress in confidence. As for his health, Yakkaf does not present any known particular problems. He gets along with other cats and has a great need for their presence: a home with another balanced and sociable cat will be essential for his development.

Yakkaf a probablement vécu toute sa vie en tant que chat errant, ce qui explique sa grande prudence et sa timidité envers les humains. Il a récemment été pris en charge par le refuge afin d’être mis en sécurité et de pouvoir évoluer dans de meilleures conditions. C’est un chat très craintif, qui reste encore aujourd’hui très apeuré en présence humaine. Il a tendance à se rassurer en restant constamment proche de ses compagnons félins, qui représentent pour lui un véritable point d’appui. Son comportement montre qu’il a besoin d’un environnement très calme, stable et respectueux de son rythme pour pouvoir progresser en confiance. Concernant sa santé, Yakkaf ne présente pas de problème particulier connu à ce jour. Il s’entend avec les autres chats et a un besoin important de leur présence : un foyer avec un autre chat équilibré et sociable sera indispensable à son épanouissement.
