Kara

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Kara, a beautiful red cat with charming eyes, is a loving mother who raised her five kittens with patience, especially when they tried to play with my tail! Today, it's my turn to find my family. I'm a real cuddler, I love humans! I close my eyes contentedly under the caress, and I'm told I'm very endearing. I love looking at you with loving eyes, rubbing against your legs, and then going to sit quietly on the arm of the sofa, as a pretty little statue. You can take me in your arms without any problem, although, between us, that's not what I prefer. I also have character that I reserve for my four-legged fellow cats, cats and dogs. In my foster family, I quickly made it clear that I would not be friends with anyone. After some tensions, paw swipes, and growls, everyone found their place... or rather, I set my rules of cohabitation. Fortunately, the animal troupe was very understanding. I'm extremely greedy, but not for croquettes or pâté, no: it's human food that I prefer! On the street, you had to be cunning to eat, and I haven't yet realized that that time is over. I know how to open boxes, plastic bags: a real little magician! Otherwise, the doctor recently gave me a shot, and it turns out I'm a carrier of FIV (cat AIDS). I hope this won't scare my future family, because I'm doing very well and I still have a lot of love to give! Find Kara on the refuge's Facebook page.

Identifiée par puce électronique Type : Européen Couleur : Rousse - Pelage : court Stérilisée Test FIV (Sida) positif - FELV (Leucose) négatif Vaccinée Typhus et Coryza Santé : Tout va bien En famille d'accueil Moi c’est Kara, une jolie rousse aux yeux de charmeuse. Une maman attentionnée qui a élevé ses 5 chatons avec patience, énormément de patience, surtout quand ils s'évertuaient à jouer avec ma queue ! Aujourd'hui, c'est à mon tour de chercher ma famille. Je suis une vraie câlinette, j'adore les humains ! Je ferme les yeux de contentement sous la caresse, et on me dit très attachante. J'aime vous regarder avec des yeux énamourés, me frotter à vos jambes, puis aller me poser tranquillement sur le bras du canapé, en jolie petite statue. On peut me prendre dans les bras sans problème, même si, entre nous, ce n'est pas ce que je préfère. Lire plus... J'ai aussi du caractère que je réserve à mes congénères à quatre pattes, chats comme chiens. Dans ma famille d'accueil, j'ai vite fait comprendre que je ne serais l'amie de personne. Après quelques tensions, coups de patte et feulements, chacun a trouvé sa place... ou plutôt, j'ai posé mes règles de cohabitation. Heureusement, la troupe animale s'est montrée très compréhensive. Je suis extrêmement gourmande mais pas de croquettes ni de pâtée, non : c'est la nourriture humaine qui a ma préférence ! Dans la rue, il fallait ruser pour manger, et je n'ai pas encore réalisé que ce temps-là est révolu. Je sais ouvrir des boîtes, des sacs plastique : une vraie petite magicienne ! Sinon, la docteur m'a récemment fait une piqûre, et il s'avère que je suis porteuse du FIV (le sida du chat). J'espère que cela ne fera pas peur à ma future famille, car je vais très bien et j'ai encore plein d'amour à donner ! Retrouvez Kara sur la page Facebook du refuge.

About Kara

What life with Kara looks like

Kara is a young 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 Kara, answered.

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