Adopt MICHOKO

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

MICHOKO – 7 years old, MICHOKO arrived at the shelter due to abandonment, a difficult but necessary decision made in the best interest of all. Her previous family had to part ways after the child in the home developed allergies, making cohabitation too complicated on a daily basis. Accustomed to living in a family environment, MICHOKO previously lived with another cat and a young child. She also had access to the outdoors, an important element of her balance that will need to be considered for her future home. MICHOKO is a small, rather calm, gentle, and affectionate cat. She enjoys human company while also relishing her moments of quiet. After losing her routine and leaving the only life she knew, MICHOKO is now seeking a new family ready to open their hearts to her and offer her the stability she deserves. In her ideal home, MICHOKO would like to regain a peaceful daily routine, affection, a comfortable spot to rest… and perhaps the opportunity to safely enjoy the outdoors once more.

About MICHOKO

What life with MICHOKO looks like

MICHOKO is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 MICHOKO, answered.

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