MIRABELLE &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Hi, my name is Mirabelle, I'm a female just over a year old (estimated birth date: 01/03/2025), even though at first glance, you might still think I'm a kitten! Although my illness slightly weakens my digestive system, I have a good appetite and I'm a real bundle of energy constantly. I grew up alone on the streets, so today I have a lot (really a lot) of love to give to anyone who wants to share it with me. In your arms, on your lap, at your feet, wherever I can be close to you, I love to snuggle and come purr. It's true that my clingy nature and difficult early life make me not like being alone for too long, and I still tend to forget the concept of a litter box (very new to me!). However, I'm learning to adapt a little more each day and I'm making huge progress! It's also said that I'm very chatty: when I'm not purring or sleeping, I always have something to say or comment (mostly to melt your heart). I'm not at all afraid of humans, on the contrary, I tend to want to make friends with them. Finally, I love to explore and play, alone or with you. Bells, plastic bags, and strings are my best friends. After my first year of life as a stray wanderer and alone, I'm looking for a patient family who will help me adapt to my new life and share their love and tenderness with me.

Salut, moi c'est Mirabelle, je suis une femelle d'un peu plus d'un an (estimée au 01/03/2025), même si à vu d'oeil, on me prendrait encore parfois pour un chaton ! Même si ma maladie fragilise un peu mon système digestif, j'ai bon appétit et je suis une vraie boule d'énergie constamment. J'ai grandi seule à la rue donc aujourd'hui j'ai énormément (vraiment beaucoup) d'amour à donner à toute personne qui souhaite le partager avec moi. Dans vos bras, sur vos genoux, à vos pieds, partout où je peux être proche de vous j'aime me coller et venir ronronner. C'est vrai que mon côté pot-de-colle et mon début de vie difficile font que je n'aime pas vraiment rester seule trop longtemps et que j'ai encore tendance à oublier la concept de litière (très nouveau pour moi !). Cependant, j'apprends chaque jour à m'adapter un petit peu plus et je fais d'énormes progrès ! On dit aussi de moi que je suis très pipelette : quand je ne suis pas en train de ronronner ou dormir, j'ai toujours quelque chose à dire ou à commenter (surtout pour vous attendrir). Je n'ai pas du tout peur des humains, au contraire, j'ai même plutôt tendance à vouloir m'en faire des amis. Enfin, j'adore explorer et jouer, seule ou avec vous. Les grelots, les sacs en plastiques et les ficelles sont mes meilleurs amis. Après ma première année de vie en errance et seule, je suis à la recherche d'une famille patiente qui saura m'aider à m'adapter à ma nouvelle vie et partager son amour et sa douceur avec moi.

About MIRABELLE &#8211

What life with MIRABELLE &#8211 looks like

MIRABELLE &#8211 is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Association Ron'Rhône in Lyon.

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 MIRABELLE &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MIRABELLE &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Ron'Rhône handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MIRABELLE &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MIRABELLE &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Ron'Rhône 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 MIRABELLE &#8211 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 MIRABELLE &#8211 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 Association Ron'Rhône early rather than rehoming privately; they know MIRABELLE &#8211 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.
