Murphie

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 8 months

Just 8 months… that’s still the age of a kitten. Yet, this pretty black panther with a small white medallion has already endured far too many trials 💔. Alone on the street Murphie, she gave birth to 4 little kittens. Fragile, young, without shelter… her future and that of her babies were very uncertain. Fortunately, a kind-hearted lady discovered them and, moved by their situation, she immediately contacted us to put them in safety 🙏. Thanks to this wave of solidarity, the entire little family was saved. Today, the kittens have grown, and each is now tracing its own path. It’s time for this young mother to think about herself and find the loving home she so deserves. 🌸 💖 Who is Murphie? A kitten under a year old, still full of youth and mischief. Very, very affectionate: she adores being petted and will fill you with purrs 🥰 Hyper social: she seeks human company and loves to participate in the life of the house. A real chatterbox 😸: she adores "talking" and responding. She has already proven her strength and courage. Now, all she wants is a family that will love her for life and finally offer her the security and tenderness she never experienced at the start.

About Murphie

What life with Murphie looks like

Murphie is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Association Thalya Protection in France.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Murphie, answered.

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