How do I contact the shelter about Moka?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 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 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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.

Adopt Moka

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 2 months

Story: Moka was found wandering in a warehouse. The employees on site, who had noticed the presence of a litter of kittens, alerted a protector who, wanting to trap the kittens and their mother, ended up unexpectedly with Moka. Due to lack of space in associations, this little dog had to spend two months in a cage before we could take him in. Although a bit shy, he quickly revealed himself to be a lovely cat, full of love and tenderness with his foster family. However, veterinary appointments are piling up since Moka bears marks from his previous life as a stray. Unfortunately, he is a carrier of the feline immunodeficiency virus. First treated for conjunctivitis, gingivitis, and severe dehydration, recent tests have revealed an important kidney problem. We must test different treatments and continue the analyses to determine what explains this problem at such a young age and try to remedy it if possible. Moka is therefore looking for a godfather or godmother, willing to cover part of his expenses while looking for his forever family that will take care of him.

Histoire : Moka a été trouvé errant dans un entrepôt. Les salariés présents sur site, qui avaient repéré la présence d’une portée de chatons, ont alerté une protectrice qui, voulant trapper les chatons et leur mère, s’est trouvée par surprise avec Moka. Faute de place dans les associations, ce petit loulou a dû passer 2 mois en cage avant que nous puissions le récupérer. Bien qu’un peu timide, il s’est vite révélé être un adorable chat, plein d’amour et de tendresse avec sa famille d’accueil. Cependant, les rendez vous vétérinaires se succèdent puisque Moka porte des stigmates de sa précédente vie de vagabond. Il est malheureusement porteur du virus du sida du chat. D’abord soigné pour une conjonctivite, une gingivite, et une grande déshydratation, les récentes analyses lui ont découvert un problème rénal important. Nous devons tester différents traitements et continuer les analyses afin de déterminer ce qui explique ce problème à un si jeune âge et y remédier si possible. Moka cherche donc son parrain ou sa marraine, prêt à prendre en charge une partie de ses dépenses en attendant de trouver sa famille pour la vie qui prendra soin de lui.

About Moka

What life with Moka looks like

Moka is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 in Paris.

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.
