Akiko

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Akiko is a very playful cat with other cats of the same species, but she also knows how to be very affectionate with humans. Ideally, she could be adopted with Yagui if a double adoption is possible. She gets along well with children and will adapt to all environments, though she would particularly be happy in a home where she has a feline companion to play with.

Akiko est une chatte très joueuse avec ses congénères, mais elle sait aussi se montrer très câline avec les humains. Idéalement, elle pourrait être adoptée avec Yagui si une double adoption est possible. Elle s’entend bien avec les enfants et saura s’adapter à tous les environnements, même si elle serait particulièrement heureuse dans un foyer où elle aurait un compagnon félin avec qui jouer.

About Akiko

What life with Akiko looks like

Akiko is a kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Association Thalya Protection 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Akiko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Akiko?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Thalya Protection handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Akiko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Akiko if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Thalya Protection 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Akiko 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 Akiko 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 Association Thalya Protection early rather than rehoming privately; they know Akiko 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.
