LUMINA

European Shorthair · Female

Lumina is the daughter of Miyuki and the sister of Miela, Pomme, Edgard, and Mouki. Lumina is the smallest of the siblings. Slender, beautiful, gentle, and fearless, she ranks third behind Pomme and Miela among the siblings' little explorers. She is gentle, loving, and has a particularly expressive gaze. Like her brother Mouki, she seems to know exactly what you are doing, and when you talk to her, she looks and interacts with her eyes. She also lets herself be picked up and willingly offers her little purrs, even when her mom is there. Her coat is beautiful and very rare with its shades of blue-gray, beige, cream, and white that make her absolutely unique. Her name is a little light: she is sunny, gentle, and very present. Lumina is a little light all by herself, one of those that gently illuminates a house and eventually takes up a huge place in the heart. She is clean. In foster care with Lydie L.

FR·Show original

Lumina est la fille de Miyuki et la sœur de Miela, Pomme, Edgard et Mouki. Lumina est la plus petite de la fratrie. Fluette, magnifique, douce et téméraire, elle arrive en 3ème position derrière Pomme et Miela, dans les petites exploratrices de la fratrie. Elle est douce, aimante et possède un regard particulièrement expressif. Comme son frère Mouki, elle semble savoir exactement ce que l’on fait et lorqu’on lui parle elle regarde et interagit avec ses yeux. Elle se laisse également prendre dans les bras et offre volontiers ses petits ronrons, même lorsque sa maman est là. Sa robe est magnifique et très rare avec ses nuances de gris bleuté, de beige, de crème et de blanc qui la rendent absolument singulière. Son prénom est une petite lumière : elle est solaire, douce et très présente. Lumina est une petite lumière à elle toute seule, de celles qui illuminent doucement une maison et finissent par prendre une immense place dans le cœur. Elle est propre. En accueil chez Lydie L.

About LUMINA

What life with LUMINA looks like

LUMINA is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Rêves de chiens in Viry-Châtillon.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting LUMINA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LUMINA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Rêves de chiens handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw LUMINA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LUMINA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Rêves de chiens 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is LUMINA 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 LUMINA 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 Refuge Rêves de chiens early rather than rehoming privately; they know LUMINA 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.
