How do I contact the shelter about Madeleine?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Asociatia HOPE handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Madeleine on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Madeleine if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Asociatia HOPE 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 Madeleine 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 Madeleine 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 Asociatia HOPE early rather than rehoming privately; they know Madeleine 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 (RO). 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.

Adopt Madeleine

Mixed Breed · Female

Madeleine – the cat with her own rules and a heart ready to love. I am Madeleine and I am a bit... different. I was saved from the street when I was only 2 months old, sick and with a dislocated hip. I don't exactly remember what happened, but I know I went through tough times and ended up with a little sensitivity in my leg. Since then, I have a unique personality: I like to be petted, but only on my terms. I come to you for attention and affection, but if you persist too much, I will let you know in my way that it's enough - with a little touch of my paw. I don't bite, I don't scratch, I just show you that I like my boundaries to be respected. Although I am not the "perfect kitten" for everyone, I am sure there is someone out there who will understand and love me just the way I am: gentle, curious, and with a heart that, once won, will offer you loyalty for life. If you have patience, respect, and a big heart, promise me that you will give me the chance to show you who I really am? ❤️🐾 Discover all the dogs available for adoption Discover all the cats available for adoption Donate to help us save more animals Become a volunteer and help us help the animals of the association.

Madeleine – pisicuța cu propriile reguli și o inimă gata să iubeascăEu sunt Madeleine și sunt un pic mai… diferită. Am fost salvată de pe stradă când aveam doar 2 luni, bolnăvioară și cu șoldul dislocat. Nu îmi mai amintesc exact ce s-a întâmplat, dar știu că am trecut prin momente grele și am rămas cu o mică sensibilitate la picior.De atunci, am și o personalitate aparte: îmi place să fiu mângâiată, dar numai cât vreau eu. Vin singură la tine pentru atenție și alint, însă dacă insiști prea mult, îți voi spune în felul meu că e suficient – cu o mică atingere de lăbuță. Nu mușc, nu zgârii, doar îți arăt că îmi place să am limitele mele respectate.Deși nu sunt „pisicuța perfectă” pentru oricine, sunt convinsă că undeva există un om care mă va înțelege și mă va iubi așa cum sunt: blândă, curioasă și cu o inimă care, odată cucerită, îți va oferi loialitate pe viață.Dacă ai răbdare, respect și un suflet mare, promiți că îmi vei lăsa șansa să-ți arăt cine sunt cu adevărat? ❤️🐾 Condiții de adopție:– adopție doar în București– apartament– balcon închis– plase de protecție solide la geamuri, montate înainte ca Madeleine să ajungă acasă Descoperă toți câinii disponibili pentru adopție Descoperă toate pisicile disponibile pentru adopție Doneaza pentru a ne ajuta să salvăm mai multe animale Deveniți voluntar și ajutați-ne să ajutăm animalele asociației.

About Madeleine

What life with Madeleine looks like

Madeleine is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Asociatia HOPE in Bucharest.

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 Romania

Romanian rescues handle the highest volume of cross-border adoptions in the EU. Animals are quarantined and fully vetted before transport. Reputable rescues maintain detailed health records and post-adoption follow-up.
