How do I contact the shelter about Maëla?

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 Maëla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Maëla 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 Maëla 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 Maëla 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 Maëla 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.

Adopt Maëla

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

Age: born August 1, 2022 Identification: 250 269 300 375 331 Physical characteristics: Tri-color cat, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, vaccinated and spayed. Personality: Maëla is playful, very sociable, kind, a small cat who likes human company. A bit independent, she will follow you everywhere and enjoy coming to sleep near you in the evening; she will also accompany you to the bathroom. She has never scratched or bitten. A bit of a foodie, she will meow and lead you to her dry kibble bag to remind you that it's mealtime and she's hungry! She doesn't like being held but enjoys being cuddled, sitting next to you on the couch and watching the birds in the garden: she talks to them. Background: Given to the association by someone who couldn't afford to keep her despite her attachment to the little cat. Ideal placement: In a stable, responsible household with a large living space (which she currently has) with a secure balcony or terrace. To be adopted alone. Child from 10 years old or teenager. Contact: Cat visible in Vincennes. Contact Orane, preferably in the evening or on weekends, by email or web form.

Age : née le 01/08/2022 Identification : 250 269 300 375 331 Caractéristiques physiques : Chatte tricolore, testée négatif Fiv/FeLV, vaccinée et stérilisée. Caractère : Maëla est joueuse, très sociable, gentille, petite chatte qui aime la présence humaine. Un peu indépendante, elle vous suivra partout néanmoins et appréciera le soir de venir se coucher près de vous ; elle vous accompagnera aussi dans la salle de bains. Elle n’a jamais griffé ou mordu. Un peu gourmande, elle miaulera et vous conduira vers son sac de croquettes pour vous rappeler que c’est l’heure du repas et qu’elle a faim ! Elle n’apprécie pas trop d’être prise dans les bras mais aime bien être câlinée, s’installer près de vous sur le canapé et regarder dans le jardin les oiseaux : elle leur parle. Histoire : Remise à l’association par une personne qui n’avait pas les moyens de la garder malgré son attachement à la petite chatte. Placement idéal : Dans un foyer stable, sérieux et responsable ayant un grand espace de vie (ce qu’elle a actuellement) avec un balcon ou terrasse sécurisé (e). A adopter seule. Enfant à partir de 10 ans ou adolescent. Coordonnées : Chatte visible à Vincennes. Contacter Orane, de préférence au (soir ou WE), par mail ou par formulaire web .

About Maëla

What life with Maëla looks like

Maëla is a small 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.
