Melba (Pas adoptable)

European Shorthair · Female

Melba was found wandering at the end of March 2026 and quickly gave birth to her kittens with her "finder," who entrusted her to us. She is therefore in foster care with her kittens and is not adoptable at this time.

FR·Show original

Melba a été trouvée errante fin mars 2026 et a rapidement mis bas chez son "trouveur" qui nous l'a confié. Elle est donc en famille d'accueil avec ses chatons et n'est pas adoptable pour l'instant.

About Melba (Pas adoptable)

What life with Melba (Pas adoptable) looks like

Melba (Pas adoptable) is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA de Périgueux 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 (Pas adoptable), answered.

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