Melba

Mixed Breed · Female

I am Melba, a little treasure looking for her forever family. 🐾 Melba is a beautiful little ginger cat with absolutely adorable eyes. Her big, very light brown eyes give her an expression of infinite sweetness... and it's enough to cross her gaze to fall under her spell.❤️ Melba was welcomed by our association when she was pregnant. She joined her foster family and gave birth to her five kittens the day after her arrival: Roumy, Mira, Doug, Abricot and Djouny. 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱And what a wonderful mom she is! Melba takes care of her babies with a lot of love, patience and courage. She spoils, protects and accompanies them with admirable attention. An exceptional mom, simply. 🥰But Melba is also a real love of a cat. She loves humans and welcomes people who come to her with little meows, as if to say hello. She eagerly asks for care

About Melba

What life with Melba looks like

Melba is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Les Amis 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 Melba, answered.

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