KYA

Mixed Breed · Male

KYA comes from Mayotte. His name means "Ears" in Mahorais—a name he lives up to with his typical physical appearance for a cat from this island. Found at one month old in the streets of Mamoudzou, with a flattened belly, he has now become a playful, brave little cat, sometimes even a bit reckless. He will need an outdoor space to satisfy his adventurous desires. KYA gets along well with his other animal companions of the same species, as long as they are tolerant enough to accept his energetic and direct playing style. He is currently under observation as he still shows signs of the impact of that flattening in his early life.

FR·Show original

Kya nous viens de Mayotte. Son nom signifie "Oreilles" en mahorais - un nom qu'il porte à merveille avec son physique typique des chats de cette île. Retrouvé à l'âge d'un mois dans les rues de Mamoudzou, le ventre écrasé, il est maintenant devenu un petit chat joueur, courageux, parfois même un peu inconscient. Il aura besoin d'un extérieur pour satisfaire ses désirs d'aventure. Kya s'entend bien avec ses congénères, tant qu'ils sont assez tolérants pour accepter sa manière énergique et directe de jouer. Il est actuellement en observation car il garde encore des séquelles de cet écrasement dans son début de vie.

About KYA

What life with KYA looks like

KYA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Vannes in Vannes.

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 KYA, answered.

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