Maïako

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Maïako is a gentle, calm, and friendly cat with soft silk-like fur. She enjoys being petted under her neck but prefers to keep her distance from humans, except for snuggling with her favorite pyjama when she needs reassurance. She is submissive to all animals, both cats and dogs, and will share her food with them. Maïako is slow but playful. She can live in an apartment with a secure balcony or terrace and enjoys spending time outdoors. She needs a calm, gentle, and patient family with no other pets or young children. If you would like to meet her or learn more, please contact Isabelle D. at 06 58 73 72 43. A veterinary fee of €140 (for spaying and identification) will be required. You can pay this in one or two cheques. Please bring ID and proof of address. Adoption will be subject to an adoption contract and a certificate of commitment, which is included in the "How to welcome and understand her" guide. This certificate commits the adopter to properly caring for the animal. We reserve the right to visit the cat, as stated in the contract. Adoption should be a well-considered decision, not an impulsive one. It is a lifelong commitment that involves not only the costs of food and veterinary care but also the arrangements for your pet's care during your extended trips or holidays. Our mission is to find the best possible homes for our animals, ensuring their happiness and that of their owners. Please read "Welcoming and understanding her" before adoption and "Adoption formalities" once you have made your decision.

SAINT-JULIEN-LES-ROSIERS (5 km d’Alès) – Maïako a le poil doux comme de la soie. Elle est douce, calme et gentille. Elle apprécie les caresses sous le cou, mais elle aime rester à distance de l’humain, sauf pour téter son pyjama quand elle a besoin d’être rassurée. Elle est soumise à tous les animaux, chats et chiens, et leur laisse manger sa nourriture. Elle est lente, mais joueuse. Maïako peut vivre en appartement avec un balcon ou une terrasse sécurisée. Elle aime prendre l’air. Il lui faudra une famille calme, douce et patiente, sans autre animal ni enfant en bas âge. Si vous souhaitez la rencontrer ou obtenir de plus amples renseignements, contactez Isabelle D. au 06 58 73 72 43. Une participation aux frais vétérinaires (stérilisation et identification) de 140 € vous sera demandée. Vous pouvez régler en en un ou deux chèques. Prévoyez une pièce d’identité, ainsi qu’un justificatif de domicile. L’adoption sera effectuée dans le cadre d’un contrat d’adoption, d’un certificat que vous trouverez dans comment l’accueillir et le comprendre-certificat d’engagement , qui engage l’adoptant à s’occuper correctement de l’animal. Nous nous réservons le droit de visiter le chat, comme il est mentionné dans le contrat. Toute adoption doit être un acte mûrement réfléchi et non juste un coup de tête. Elle dure toute une vie. Il faut penser aux frais, tant alimentaires que vétérinaires, qu’un tel engagement engendre, mais aussi au mode de garde lors de vos longs déplacements ou vacances. Notre vocation est de placer au mieux les animaux pour qu’ils soient le plus heureux possible, ainsi que leurs propriétaires. À lire avant l’adoption : L’accueillir et le comprendre et une fois la décision prise : les formalités d’adoption.

About Maïako

What life with Maïako looks like

Maïako is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Les Chats Libres de Nîmes Agglo in les chats libres de nimes agglo.

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 Maïako, answered.

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