MOKA

Male · Senior · 12 years

I am a handsome grandpa cat who has won many hearts at the shelter with my kindness and love for big cuddle sessions. Sadly, despite my wonderful qualities, I struggle to find a family for several reasons: my age, the fact that I am FIV+, and also because I am diabetic, which requires two injections per day. You do not need to be FIV- or diabetic to adopt me. It would be a shame if I were denied a beautiful retirement basket full of affection for these reasons. Don't hesitate to come meet the awesome cat that I am, and especially to get more information from the team. I am waiting… Hurry!

Je suis un beau papi qui a conquis beaucoup de monde au refuge par ma gentillesse et mon amour des grandes séances câlins. Hélas, malgré ses belles qualités, je peine à trouver une famille sans doute pour plusieurs raisons : mon âge, que je sois positif au FIV et également parce que je suis diabétique. Actuellement je suis en famille relais pour l'essai d'un nouveau traitement qui ne nécessite pas de piqûres. Il serait dommage que je sois privé d'un beau panier retraite rempli d'affection pour ces raisons. Je ne suis pas visible au refuge donc n'hésitez pas à demander des informations complémentaires à l'équipe du refuge et pour fixer une rencontre avec le super minou que je suis. Je vous attends… Vite !

About MOKA

What life with MOKA looks like

MOKA is a senior cat waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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. SPA La Roche-sur-Yon 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 — SPA La Roche-sur-Yon 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 SPA La Roche-sur-Yon 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.
