Moka

Female · 10 months

MOKA arrived at the shelter following the hospitalization of her former owner. At first encounters, Moka is a gentle but timid cat. It will take her some time to gain confidence, but with patience and kindness, she will thrive. She can adapt equally well to apartment living or to life in a house with outdoor access. She seems to tolerate the company of other cats, yet she prefers to be the sole feline in the household.

FR·Show original

MOKA Arrivée au refuge suite à l’hospitalisation de son ancien propriétaire, Moka est une chatte douce mais craintive lors des premières rencontres. Il lui faudra un peu de temps pour prendre confiance, mais avec de la patience et de la bienveillance, elle saura s’épanouir. Elle pourra vivre aussi bien en appartement qu’en maison avec un extérieur. Elle semble tolérer la compagnie de ses congénères mais préféra être le seul félin du foyer.

About Moka

What life with Moka looks like

Moka is a adult dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 Moka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Moka?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Moka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Moka if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Moka already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs 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 Moka 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Moka 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.
