Texia

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Texia is a 2-year-old kitten, very endearing and full of life. Affectionate and incredibly clingy with humans, she loves being close to her people every day. She’s a little chatterbox who doesn’t hesitate to communicate and share her desires. She’s therefore looking for an attentive family that can offer her plenty of attention, interaction, and moments of shared companionship. Texia tends to be jealous of other cats, so she needs to be the only cat in the household to thrive.

About Texia

What life with Texia looks like

Texia is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at ARPA Nice in France.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇫🇷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 Texia, answered.

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