Kina

Mixed Breed · Female

Kina is a young, curious, playful, and lively cat. Once cautious around humans, she has made great progress and continues to learn to trust them at her own pace. Kina is a great explorer. She loves discovering her environment, climbing high to observe what's happening, and searching for anything that could become a new toy. She is particularly fond of mice and balls and can be very inventive when it comes to playing. She is also a hunter who enjoys activities that allow her to use her instincts. She is also very comfortable with other cats. Their presence seems to reassure her, and she willingly seeks their company. She has developed a real bond with Valdor in her foster family, with whom she loves to play and spend time. Kina has made great progress with humans. Initially, too much movement or noise could still make her back off or hide. Today, she sometimes remains cautious but comes spontaneously to us and touches us with the tip of her nose, rubs against our legs, and starts to enjoy petting. The contact is still quite brief, and she needs her rhythm to be respected, but she clearly shows that she now wants to create a bond. Kina will need a patient, present, and respectful family that will give her time to continue her socialization without trying to go too fast. She will also need an environment that is stimulating enough, with opportunities for play, exploration, and one or more other cats with whom she can share her daily life. Kina still has some big steps to take. With a suitable environment and humans who will gain her trust, she can flourish fully!

Kina est une jeune chatte curieuse, joueuse et pleine de vie. Longtemps prudente face aux humain•es, elle a beaucoup progressé et continue d'apprendre à leur faire confiance à son rythme. Kina est une grande exploratrice. Elle aime découvrir son environnement, grimper en hauteur pour observer ce qui se passe et partir à la recherche de tout ce qui pourrait devenir un nouveau jouet. Elle adore particulièrement les souris et les balles et peut se montrer très inventive lorsqu’il s’agit de jouer. C’est aussi une chasseuse qui aime beaucoup les activités qui lui permettent de mettre ses instincts à profit. Elle est également très à l’aise avec les autres chats. Leur présence semble la rassurer et elle recherche volontiers leur compagnie. Elle a notamment développé une vraie complicité avec Valdor dans sa famille d’accueil, avec qui elle adore jouer et passer du temps. Kina a fait de très beaux progrès avec les humain•es. Au départ, les mouvements ou les bruits trop importants pouvaient encore la faire reculer ou se cacher. Aujourd’hui, elle reste parfois prudente mais vient spontanément vers nous et nous touche du bout du nez, se frotte à nos jambes et commence à apprécier les caresses. Le contact reste encore assez bref et elle a besoin que son rythme soit respecté, mais elle montre clairement qu’elle souhaite désormais créer du lien. Kina aura besoin d’une famille patiente, présente et respectueuse de son rythme, qui lui laissera le temps de poursuivre sa sociabilisation sans chercher à aller trop vite. Elle aura également besoin d’un environnement suffisamment stimulant, avec des possibilités de jeu, d’exploration et un ou plusieurs autres chats avec lesquels elle pourra partager son quotidien. Kina a encore de belles étapes à franchir. Avec un environnement adapté et des humain•es qui sauront gagner sa confiance, elle pourra s’épanouir pleinement !

About Kina

What life with Kina looks like

Kina is a 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 Kina, answered.

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