Adopt Mikie

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Mikie is a very talkative one! He likes to communicate with humans and doesn't hesitate to make his voice heard to ask for attention, cuddles or simply to share his mood. He is a loving companion, close to humans, who enjoys the presence and daily interactions. We are looking for a understanding family, ready to welcome his chatty side with kindness, and to offer him the company and listening he loves so much.

About Mikie

What life with Mikie looks like

Mikie is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at ARPA Nice 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 Mikie, answered.

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