Matcha

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Matcha is a lovely little cat of very small stature, as gentle as she is cuddly. Found on the evening of July 14, terrified and disoriented under a car, she has since shown all her kindness and her deep need for comfort. Now safely housed, she’s waiting for a loving family who will give her the tenderness and serenity she truly deserves.

Matcha est une adorable minette de tout petit gabarit, aussi douce que câline. Retrouvée le soir du 14 juillet, terrorisée et désorientée sous une voiture, elle a depuis montré toute sa gentillesse et son besoin de réconfort. Aujourd’hui en sécurité, elle attend une famille aimante qui saura lui offrir la tendresse et la sérénité qu’elle mérite.

About Matcha

What life with Matcha looks like

Matcha is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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 Thionville 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 Thionville 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 Thionville 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.
