MALO

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 2 months

Malo - 3 months old, Malo was found in the town of Vars with his two sisters, Lili and Isys. Since their care, they are growing up in a foster family where they are gradually discovering that humans can be a source of comfort and security. Still a bit fearful, Malo will need a calm, patient and caring family to continue socializing. He already lets himself be handled, but it will take time for him to gain confidence and reveal all his tenderness. The presence of a cat who is comfortable with cats would be a real asset to help him flourish and adapt more serenely to his new life. Malo must remain indoors until he is spayed/neutered. This is mandatory at the age of 6 months for any kitten adopted from the shelter and remains the responsibility of the adopter. Malo is looking for a family willing to offer him the time, patience and love he needs. With kindness, he will become a wonderful companion for life.

Malo – 3 mois, Malo a été trouvé sur la commune de Vars avec ses deux sœurs, Lili et Isys. Depuis leur prise en charge, ils grandissent en famille d’accueil, où ils découvrent progressivement que les humains peuvent être une source de réconfort et de sécurité. Encore un peu craintif, Malo aura besoin d’une famille calme, patiente et bienveillante pour poursuivre sa sociabilisation. Il se laisse déjà manipuler, mais il lui faudra du temps pour prendre confiance et révéler toute sa tendresse. La présence d’un chat bien dans ses pattes serait un véritable atout pour l’aider à s’épanouir et à s’adapter plus sereinement à sa nouvelle vie. Malo devra impérativement rester en intérieur jusqu’à sa stérilisation. Celle-ci est obligatoire à l’âge de 6 mois pour tout chaton adopté au refuge et reste à la charge de l’adoptant. Malo recherche une famille prête à lui offrir le temps, la patience et l’amour dont il a besoin. Avec de la douceur, il deviendra un merveilleux compagnon de vie.

About MALO

What life with MALO looks like

MALO is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 MALO, answered.

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