Asahi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Asahi was taken in by our association along with her sister Kiyomi while they were wandering around a breeding site in Ille-et-Vilaine. They must have been born outdoors to a stray mother and never experienced human contact. As a result, they had to learn how to interact with humans from scratch. That’s why Asahi remains very shy even now—but time and patience will do their work: Asahi is gradually gaining confidence! Today, her presence is felt throughout the house; as long as it’s calm, she doesn’t hesitate to come and lounge on the sofa right next to us. She’s an incredibly endearing little cat! If the environment gets too hectic for her liking, she’ll prefer to hide instead. As for physical contact, the breakthrough hasn’t happened yet—she rarely lets herself be petted (except with a feather duster). This sweetie is quite talkative, affectionate from a distance, and has a cheerful temperament; she gets along wonderfully with other cats. She’s also an exceptional flycatcher: she leaps high into the air to catch them, reaching heights of up to 1.5 meters without any running start. She’s waiting for her forever family. If you’re gentle, patient, and respectful of her need for time and patience—and if you already have one or more sociable cats—this could be the perfect match for you!

Asahi a été prise en charge par notre association avec sa soeur Kiyomi alors qu'elles erraient sur un site de prolifération en Ille et Vilaine. Elles ont dû naître dehors d'une mère errante, et ne pas connaître le contact avec l'humain. Il y a donc eu un apprentissage vis a vis du contact avec l'humain. C'est pour cela qu'elle reste encore très timide, mais le temps et la patience feront les choses : Asahi gagne petit à petit en confiance ! Aujourd'hui, sa présence se fait ressentir dans la maison tant que c'est calme, elle n'hésite pas à venir se prélasser sur le canapé tout près de nous. C'est une minette très attachante ! Si l'environnement s'agite de trop à son goût, elle préférera aller se cacher. Quant au contact physique, le déclic n'a pas encore eu lieu. Elle ne se laisse que rarement caresser (au plumeau). Cette cocotte est une pipelette, câline à distance et de tempérament joyeux et très copine avec les autres chats. Elle est également chasseuse de mouches hors pair : elle fait des bons pour les attraper qui culminent à 1m50, sans élan. Elle attend sa famille pour la vie. Si vous êtes doux, patients et respectueux de son besoin de temps et de patience, et si vous avez un ou plusieurs autre(s) chat(s) sociable(s), cela peut être vous !

About Asahi

What life with Asahi looks like

Asahi is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at ADPK - Association Des P in adpk association des p tits korrigans.

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 Asahi, answered.

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