Pepita

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 4 months

I was born at home with my mother Pépita, a small shrimp-sized female. Incredible socialization ❤️ At first, I was not afraid of anything and I easily attacked everything that approached me despite my small size. But I got to know my human. I love following her everywhere, sticking to her, climbing on her and sitting on her shoulder. I am also very expressive, I love talking. I let myself be 100% when I am confident. I love eating. I am clean.

Passé: né en maison avec leurs mère Pépita femelle format petite crevette. Incroyable sociabilisation ❤️ au début je n’avais peur de rien et j’attaquait facilement tout se qui m’approchait malgré mon petit gabarit. Mais j’ai appris à connaître mon humain. J’adore la suivre partout, la coller, l’escalader et lui monter sur son épaule. Je suis également très expressive, j’adore parler. Je me laisse 100% faire quand je suis en confiance. J’adore manger. Je suis propre. Pepita est le chaton modèle, très caline, machine à ronron, gentille. Elle adore jouet et se promener partout. Se laisse manipuler. Gourmande sur la pâté.

About Pepita

What life with Pepita looks like

Pepita is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at SPA de l 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 Pepita, answered.

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