How do I contact the shelter about Moka?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Adopte Un Matou 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 — Adopte Un Matou 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 Adopte Un Matou 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.

Moka

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 16 months

Moka is a young black cat with a gentle gaze and a bit of worry. He is 16 months old and has a heart full of love waiting to be given. Moka's story did not start as it should have. He was abandoned after a Roma camp left, left to his own devices, with only the hope of one day crossing paths with a kind hand. Today, Moka is safe and waiting for his true family. Moka is a very kind and sociable cat, but also a bit fearful. He needs time to trust, to understand that he can finally feel safe and that he will not be abandoned again. Moka will probably not be the cat who immediately comes to snuggle in your arms. You will have to accept to move forward slowly, at his pace, without ever rushing him. But for the one or the one who will give him this chance will have the happiness of having a cat of rare kindness. Moka gets along very well with other cats and their presence could even be a real plus to help him gain confidence. He also gets along with dogs. For his fulfillment, a family with a secure outdoor access would be ideal. Secured balcony, terrace, or garden. A small space where he can observe the world, gain confidence and fully enjoy his new life. Moka is looking for a patient, gentle and understanding family, ready to adopt not just a cat, but a sensitive little being who needs to be shown that humans can also be synonymous with security and love. Offering a chance to Moka is accepting to take the time to win his heart. And when he gives it to you, you will know that you have accomplished something beautiful. Moka is visible in Frepillon (95) under the Adopte un Matou association. He is offered for adoption identified (microchip), sterilized, tested negative FiV/FelV, primo-vaccinated (typhus/coryza) and dewormed (worms/fleas). With health booklet, health certificate, commitment certificate. Adoption fee: €180. Placement followed. The exteriors (windows, balconies...) of his future home must be secured: preventing a kitten/cat from escaping or falling (we eliminate all requests that do not meet this condition).

Moka un petit coeur entouré de poils qui ne demande qu’à être aimé. Moka est un jeune chat noir de 16 mois au regard rempli de douceur… et d’un peu d’inquiétude. Son histoire n’a pas commencé comme il l’aurait mérité. Il a été abandonné suite au départ d’un camp de Rom, livré à lui-même, avec pour seul espoir de croiser un jour une main bienveillante. Aujourd’hui, Moka est à l’abri et attend enfin sa vraie famille. Moka est un chat très gentil et sociable, mais aussi un peu craintif. Il lui faut du temps pour faire confiance, pour comprendre qu’il peut enfin se sentir en sécurité et qu’il ne sera plus abandonné. Moka ne sera probablement pas le chat qui viendra immédiatement se blottir dans vos bras. Il faudra accepter d’avancer doucement, à son rythme, sans jamais le brusquer. Mais pour celui ou celle qui saura lui donner cette chance aura le bonheur d’avoir un chat d’une rare gentillesse. Moka s’entend très bien avec les autres chats et leur présence pourrait même être un véritable plus pour l’aider à prendre confiance. Il s’entend également avec les chiens. Pour son épanouissement, nous lui recherchons une famille disposant d’un accès à un jardin sans danger pour un chat (pas mitoyen à une route passante par exemple). Moka recherche donc une famille patiente, douce et compréhensive, prête à adopter non pas seulement un chat, mais un petit être sensible qui a besoin qu’on lui montre que l’humain peut aussi être synonyme de sécurité et d’amour. Offrir une chance à Moka, c’est accepter de prendre le temps de gagner son cœur. Et quand il vous l’offrira, vous saurez que vous aurez accompli quelque chose de magnifique. Moka est visible à Frepillon (95) sous association Adopte un Matou. Il est proposé à l’adoption identifié (puce électronique), stérilisé, testé négatif FiV/FelV, primo-vacciné (typhus/coryza) et vermifugé (vers/puces). Avec carnet de santé, certificat de bonne santé, certificat d’engagement. Frais d’adoption : 180 €. Placement suivi.

About Moka

What life with Moka looks like

Moka is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Adopte Un Matou in Maurecourt.

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.
