How do I contact the shelter about Matchata?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Perwez) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Matchata on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Matchata if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perwez) 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 Matchata 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 Matchata 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 Perwez) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Matchata 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.

Matchata

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Matchata arrived at our shelter initially as a result of an authority seizure, after living confined in a room in the dark. He was then adopted but unfortunately returned to the shelter due to hygiene issues in his previous home. This is a cat who had a very difficult start in life and is gradually discovering a more stable and secure life. Matchata is a very playful and very greedy cat, showing a great energy and natural curiosity. He is also a brave and non-aggressive cat, who simply hasn’t yet fully adapted to the rules of life with humans. His past explains his current sensitivity, but he continues to evolve and progress at his own pace. Regarding his health, Matchata has probably been a victim of an old accident. He has been operated on and now feels much better.

FR·Show original

Matchata est arrivé au refuge initialement dans le cadre d’une saisie, après avoir vécu enfermé dans une chambre, dans le noir. Il avait ensuite été adopté, mais est malheureusement revenu au refuge en raison de problèmes de malpropreté dans son précédent foyer. C’est un chat qui a connu un début de vie très difficile et qui découvre progressivement une vie plus stable et sécurisée. Matchata est un chat très joueur et très gourmand, qui montre une belle énergie et une curiosité naturelle. C’est également un chat courageux et sans agressivité, qui n’a simplement pas encore totalement acquis les codes de la vie avec les humains. Son passé explique sa sensibilité actuelle, mais il continue d’évoluer et de progresser à son rythme. Concernant sa santé, Matchata a probablement été victime d’un ancien accident. Il a été opéré et se sent aujourd’hui beaucoup mieux.
