Matcha

European Shorthair · Female

Matcha is looking for her forever family. She is a very affectionate cat who enjoys human company. She is still a bit timid and will need a calm home with minimal noise to gain confidence at her own pace. She gets along very well with dogs and cats and will easily approach them without fear. If you are looking for a gentle, loving companion and can offer her a peaceful environment where she can thrive, she is just waiting for you.

About Matcha

What life with Matcha looks like

Matcha is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA Côtes d in France.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Matcha, answered.

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