Miou

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Miou is a very playful and affectionate cat, he loves attention and will run after you whenever he can! He is housebroken but quite quiet, he likes his little hidden corners and enjoys not being disturbed, but he also likes to take advantage of the sunlight and large windows to look outside. He will need some time to develop his personality but he adapted very quickly in a foster home! Interested? Complete a downloadable adoption application directly below.

Miou est un chat très joueur et câlin, il aime l’attention et vous courra dans les jambes dès qu’il peut! Il est propre mais assez discret, il aime ses petits coins cachés et apprécie ne pas être dérangé, mais il aime aussi profiter du soleil et des larges fenêtres pour regarder dehors. Il aura besoin d’un temps d’adaptation pour développer son caractère mais il s’est adapté très vite en famille d’accueil! Intéressé ?

About Miou

What life with Miou looks like

Miou is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA du Dauphine in Grenoble.

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 Miou, answered.

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