MIYUKI

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Miyuki was taken in in May while she was wandering in the garden of a residence. Very thin, she was expecting 5 kittens, to which she gave birth shortly after being rescued. Although she was very young, almost a baby, Miyuki proved to be an extraordinary mother, extremely attentive and devoted to her little ones (Edgard, Pomme, Lumina, Miela and Mouky). It took her some time to understand that she was finally safe and could relax. Today (September 2026), Miyuki fully reveals her true personality: she is an incredibly gentle little cat, very affectionate and particularly intelligent. She seeks a lot of contact with humans, loves to rub her head against them and is very present in the interaction. She knows perfectly how to make herself understood: when she meows, it is often to ask for cuddles, presence or even something for her little ones. A very expressive cat, who

Miyuki a été recueilli au mois de mai , alors qu’elle errait dans le jardin d’une résidence. Très amaigrie, elle attendait pourtant 5 petits chatons, auxquels elle a donné naissance peu après sa mise en sécurité. Elle même toute jeune, presque un bébé, Miyuki s’est révélée être une maman extraordinaire, extrêmement attentive et dévouée à ses petits (Edgard, Pomme, Lumina, Miela et Mouky). Il lui a fallu un peu de temps pour comprendre qu’elle était enfin en sécurité et pouvoir se détendre. Aujourd’hui (septembre 2026), Miyuki dévoile pleinement sa vraie personnalité : c’est une petite chatte incroyablement douce, très câline et particulièrement intelligente. Elle recherche beaucoup le contact avec les humains, adore venir frotter sa tête contre eux et se montre très présente dans l’interaction. Elle sait parfaitement se faire comprendre : lorsqu’elle miaule, c’est souvent pour demander des câlins, de la présence ou même quelque chose pour ses petits. Une chatte très expressive, qui cré

About MIYUKI

What life with MIYUKI looks like

MIYUKI is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Rêves de chiens in Viry-Châtillon.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting MIYUKI, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MIYUKI?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Rêves de chiens handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MIYUKI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MIYUKI if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Rêves de chiens 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is MIYUKI 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 MIYUKI 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 Refuge Rêves de chiens early rather than rehoming privately; they know MIYUKI 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.
