Adopt Kaimaki

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 12 years

Cats marked for rescue have an even more urgent need to find a family. This can be due to their age, a specific illness, or distress at the shelter. Kaimaki arrived at the shelter after being found wandering, in a concerning state. After several months in foster care, where she was able to regain strength and receive necessary care, she is now ready to find her forever family. Kaimaki is an extremely gentle and affectionate cat. Very close to humans, she constantly seeks company and greatly appreciates being petted and shown affection. Gourmand and expressive, she knows how to make her wants understood and never misses an opportunity to draw attention from her humans. Health-wise, Kaimaki is a carrier of a significant calicivirus requiring regular monitoring and care. This illness being highly contagious to other cats, she must be adopted into a home without other cats of the same species. She will also need to live exclusively in an apartment. Not suitable for homes with other dogs.

Les chats signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Kaimaki est arrivée au refuge après avoir été trouvée errante, dans un état préoccupant. Après plusieurs mois passés en famille d’accueil, où elle a pu reprendre des forces et recevoir les soins nécessaires, elle est aujourd’hui prête à trouver sa famille pour la vie. Kaimaki est une chatte extrêmement douce et affectueuse. Très proche de l’humain, elle recherche constamment la compagnie et apprécie énormément les caresses et les moments de tendresse. Gourmande et expressive, elle sait faire comprendre ce qu’elle veut et ne manque jamais une occasion d’attirer l’attention de ses humains. Côté santé, Kaimaki est porteuse d’un important calicivirus nécessitant un suivi et des soins réguliers. Cette maladie étant très contagieuse pour les autres chats, elle devra impérativement être adoptée dans un foyer sans congénères. Elle devra également vivre exclusivement en appartement.

About Kaimaki

What life with Kaimaki looks like

Kaimaki is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Frequently asked

Adopting Kaimaki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kaimaki?
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 Kaimaki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kaimaki 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 Kaimaki 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 Kaimaki 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 Kaimaki 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.
