TSUKIKO C

Female · Young · 3 years

Tsukiko arrived with us following an abandonment. She is a reserved cat at first glance but once she feels at ease, she turns out to be a very affectionate and human-friendly cat, with not a hair of malice in her. She arrived in September 2025 with urinary and fecal incontinence issues, and despite all the tests conducted (X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, etc.), we have not been able to determine the cause of her condition. The most likely cause of her incontinence is that a nerve was severed following an accident. Tsukiko is also a cat that gets stressed by environmental changes and is alert to the slightest noise. She suffers from urinary infections and will need a specific diet (urinary). Tsukiko is looking for a calm home that will accept her as she is, without young children. A little bit of outdoor space would be a plus for her. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Tsukiko est arrivée chez nous à la suite d'un abandon. C'est une chatte réservée aux premiers abords mais qui, une fois en confiance, se révèle être une minette très câline et proche de l'humain, qui n'a pas un poil de méchanceté en elle. Arrivée en Septembre 2025 avec des problèmes d'incontinence urinaires et fécales et malgré tous les examens réalisés (radio, écho, IRM, ...) nous n'avons pas trouvé la source de son état. La cause la plus probable de son incontinence est qu'un nerf aurait été sectionné à la suite d'un accident. Tsukiko est également une chatte stressée par les changements d'environnement et alerte au moindre bruit. Elle souffre donc d'infections urinaires et aura besoin d'une alimentation spécifique (urinary). Tsukiko recherche un foyer calme qui saura l'accepter tel qu'elle est, sans enfants en bas-âge. Un petit bout d'extérieur serait un plus pour elle.

About TSUKIKO C

What life with TSUKIKO C looks like

TSUKIKO C is a small young adult cat waiting at SPA Vaux-le-Pénil in Vaux-le-Pénil.

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.

Note from the shelter: Urinary and fecal incontinence, likely due to nerve damage. Requires special urinary diet and calm environment. Stress-sensitive.

🇫🇷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 TSUKIKO C, answered.

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