Malcom

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 5 months

📖History: Abandoned at the foot of a building, he found refuge in an entrance hall to protect himself… Fortunately, a kind person took him in temporarily while we got in touch, and we were able to take charge of him last Saturday during our grocery cart operation. Malcom is an energetic kitten, always ready to play and explore. A feline companion as dynamic as he would be perfect to share his kitten games and antics. He gets along very well with everyone: cats, dogs, and children. But what defines him best is his cuddly side. Malcom loves physical contact, constantly seeking the presence of his human and not hesitating to snuggle in their neck to sleep glued to them all night. 💕 Today, he is waiting for his forever family, a family that will know how to give him all the love and attention he deserves. 💌 Contact us to meet Malcom by filling out the questionnaire:

📖Histoire : Abandonné au pied d’un immeuble, il a trouvé refuge dans un hall d’entrée pour se protéger… Heureusement, une gentille personne l’a recueilli le temps de nous contacter, et nous avons pu le prendre en charge samedi dernier lors de notre opération caddie. Malcom est un chaton rempli d’énergie, toujours prêt à jouer et à explorer. Un copain chat aussi dynamique que lui serait parfait pour partager ses jeux et ses bêtises de chaton. Il s’entend très bien avec tout le monde : chats, chiens et enfants. Mais ce qui le définit le mieux, c’est son côté câlin. Malcom adore les contacts, il cherche sans cesse la présence de son humain et n’hésite pas à venir se blottir dans le cou pour dormir collé toute la nuit. 💕 Aujourd’hui, il attend sa famille pour la vie, une famille qui saura lui offrir tout l’amour et l’attention qu’il mérite. 💌 Contactez-nous pour rencontrer Malcom en remplissant le questionnaire : formulaire

About Malcom

What life with Malcom looks like

Malcom is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Association Thalya Protection in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malcom, answered.

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