Mirou

European Shorthair · Male

Mirou is a charming cat who loves to sing instead of meow. He is very affectionate and enjoys sleeping close to you, but he keeps his belly to himself. He is a big player, sometimes a bit rambunctious, and expresses his joy with enthusiasm. Although he is afraid of sudden noises, he never stays away for long - his curiosity and need for affection always win out.

FR·Show original

Vivre avec Mirou, c’est s'habituer à ses adorables roucoulements — car monsieur préfère chanter plutôt que miauler ! D’une nature très affectueuse, il adore dormir tout près de vous et se laisse porter avec plaisir, même s’il garde son jardin secret (pas touche au ventre !). C’est un grand joueur, parfois un peu fougueux, qui exprime sa joie de vivre avec dynamisme. S'il craint les bruits soudains, il n'est jamais loin bien longtemps : sa curiosité et son besoin de tendresse sont toujours les plus forts.

About Mirou

What life with Mirou looks like

Mirou is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at L 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 Mirou, answered.

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