Adopt Missao

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Missao is the quiet strength: a very charming and curious cat, always ready to embark on adventures and often the first to explore every nook and cranny of the house. Once she feels at ease, she becomes affectionate, though she prefers to stay by your side rather than climbing onto your lap. She’s also a big chatterbox who loves to chat with her humans. She would be more comfortable in a home without children and can perfectly thrive as the sole cat in the household, provided her adopters are often around to keep her company. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

Missao, c’est la force tranquille : une chatte très attachante et curieuse, toujours prête à partir à l’aventure et souvent la première à explorer chaque recoin de la maison. Une fois en confiance, elle se montre câline, même si elle préfère rester à côté plutôt que de grimper sur les genoux. C’est aussi une grande bavarde qui adore échanger avec ses humains. Elle serait plus à l’aise dans un foyer sans enfants et peut parfaitement s’épanouir comme seule chatte du foyer, à condition que ses adoptants soient souvent présents pour lui tenir compagnie.

About Missao

What life with Missao looks like

Missao is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Association Thalya Protection in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Missao, answered.

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