Adopt Kira

European Shorthair · Female

Age: born on September 5, 2014. Breed: European type. Identification: 250 268 712 288 693. Physical characteristics: Beautiful tabby coat with a beautiful speckled belly. Tested FeIV/FIV negative, spayed, vaccinated and identified by an electronic chip. Personality: Kira is shy with strangers, she will need some time to adjust. Once she trusts you, she will come to you when she feels ready, and won't let go as long as possible. She will spend the night curled up next to you, if you move, she will wait until you are settled again before coming back to snuggle on your back or in your neck, it's irresistible! This makes her a very affectionate little cat. She loves jumping into boxes, the trash can, she waits with paws in the air in the sink when you brush your teeth, comes to sit on you the moment you lie down, and absolutely loves putting her head in your hand at night to receive a caress with every movement. She is very present, but not intrusive, during the day she is perfectly independent whether you are there or not, she spends her days by the window or plays with her toys at full speed and sleeps mostly at night, which is rare and precious! Occasionally she is talkative when you come home and her dry kibble bowl is not filled quickly enough to her liking. Quite greedy, you need to keep everything she might nibble out of reach. In short, she is a calm and very affectionate little cat, who can handle solitude if she gets her daily dose of cuddles and you let her sleep near you at night. Background: Found in a neighborhood. Ideal placement: In a family that is fairly present with older children. She must be the only cat in the house, she is exclusive! Contact: Animal available in foster care in Paris 4th. Contact Yvette, volunteer at (evening after 7 pm & weekends), by mail or via the web form.

Age : née le 5 septembre 2014. Race : type européen. Identification : 250 268 712 288 693. Caractéristiques physiques : Beau pelage tigré avec un beau ventre tacheté. Testée FeIV/FIV négatif, stérilisée, vaccinée et identifiée par une puce électronique. Caractère : Kira est timide avec les inconnus, il lui faudra un peu de temps pour s’adapter . Une fois en confiance, elle viendra vers vous quand elle se sentira prête, et ne vous lâchera plus tant que cela sera possible. Elle passera sa nuit lovée contre vous, si vous bougez, elle attendra que vous soyez réinstallé pour revenir se blottir sur votre dos ou dans votre cou, c’est irrésistible ! Ça fait d’elle une minette très attachante ! Elle aime sauter dans les cartons, la corbeille, elle attend les pattes en l’air dans le lavabo quand vous vous lavez les dents, vient s’installer sur vous à la seconde où vous vous couchez, et adore par-dessus tout poser sa tête dans votre main la nuit pour recevoir une caresse à chaque mouvement. Elle est très présente, mais pas envahissante, la journée elle est parfaitement indépendante que vous soyez là ou pas, elle passe ses journées devant la fenêtre ou joue avec ses jouets à toute allure et dort plutôt la nuit, ce qui est rare et précieux ! Il lui arrive d’être bavarde quand vous rentrez à la maison et que sa gamelle de croquettes n’est pas remplie suffisamment vite à son goût. Plutôt gourmande, il faut mettre hors de portée tout ce qu’elle pourrait grignoter. En bref, c’est une minette calme et très affectueuse, qui supporte la solitude si elle peut avoir sa dose quotidienne de caresses et que vous la laissiez dormir près de vous la nuit. Histoire : Trouvée dans une cité. Placement idéal : Dans une famille assez présente avec de grands enfants. Elle devra être le seul chat de la maison, elle est exclusive ! Coordonnées : Animal visible en famille d’accueil à Paris 4ème . Contacter Yvette , bénévole au 06 79 03 28 95 (soir après 19 heures & WE), par mail ou par formulaire web .

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 in Paris.

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 Kira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kira?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kira if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Kira 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 Kira 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kira 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.
