Maelis

Female · Young · 1 year

Maelis is a lovely female cat who came to us from the animal shelter. Unfortunately, we know nothing about her past, but one thing is certain: she is very gentle, sociable, and close to humans. Maelis tolerates the presence of her fellow cats, but she would prefer to be the only feline in her home, so she can fully enjoy the attention and affection of her family. For her well-being, Maelis will need a home with access to the outdoors, where she can explore, enjoy her environment, and return to a peaceful life. She is now looking for a loving, present, and caring family, ready to offer her the stability and affection she deserves. After a life we know nothing about, Maelis deserves to finally know the happiness of a home for life.

MAELIS Maelis est une adorable minette arrivée chez nous par le biais de la fourrière. Nous ne connaissons malheureusement rien de son passé, mais une chose est certaine : elle se montre très douce, sociable et proche de l’humain. Maelis tolère la présence de ses congénères, mais elle préférera être la seule petite féline de son foyer, afin de pouvoir profiter pleinement de l’attention et de l’affection de sa famille. Pour son bien-être, Maelis aura besoin d’une maison avec un accès à l’extérieur, où elle pourra explorer, profiter de son environnement et retrouver une vie paisible. Elle recherche aujourd’hui une famille aimante, présente et bienveillante, prête à lui offrir la stabilité et l’affection qu’elle mérite. Après un début de vie dont nous ne savons rien, Maelis mérite enfin de connaître le bonheur d’un foyer pour la vie.

About Maelis

What life with Maelis looks like

Maelis is a young adult dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 Maelis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maelis?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maelis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maelis if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Maelis already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs 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 Maelis 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maelis 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.
