GIGI

Male · Adult · 5 years

GIGI en SOS White Tiger Cat, Male Adopted 09/02/2021 Gigi was removed due to abuse; he lived in very poor conditions without care. He is still timid because he never received affection. It will take time and patience for him to relax, which is why he is in SOS.

FR·Show original

Gigi est très joueur. Gigi a été retiré pour mauvais traitements, il vivait dans de très mauvaises conditions et sans soins. C'est un chat qui n'a jamais reçu d'affection. Il faudra du temps et de la patience avant qu'il ne se détende. Une vie à la campagne avec beaucoup d'espace serait l'idéal, ou en intérieur avec un copain chat pour l’aider à se sociabiliser.

About GIGI

What life with GIGI looks like

GIGI is a medium-sized adult cat waiting at Coeur de Flandres) in Hazebrouck.

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: Rescued from abuse, requires patience and socialization

Frequently asked

Adopting GIGI, answered.

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