Adopt IRIS

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

IRIS came to us from the animal shelter, and unfortunately we know nothing about her past. She is a small cat with a lot of character, and she will need calm, gentle, and patient adopters who are willing to give her time to develop at her own pace and gain confidence. IRIS has metastatic cancer. The time she has left is unfortunately limited, but we sincerely hope she can experience the warmth of a home and the happiness of being loved during her final moments. She is currently undergoing treatment for ringworm. IRIS must live exclusively indoors, without access to the outside. Offering a retirement basket to IRIS is allowing her to spend her remaining life in gentleness, safety, and affection that she deserves so much.

Iris nous est arrivée depuis la fourrière animale, et nous ne connaissons malheureusement rien de son passé. C’est une petite minette pleine de caractère, qui aura besoin d’adoptants calmes, doux et patients, prêts à lui laisser le temps d’évoluer à son rythme et de prendre confiance. Iris est atteinte d’un cancer métastasé. Le temps qu’il lui reste est malheureusement limité, mais nous espérons de tout cœur qu’elle pourra connaître la chaleur d’un foyer et le bonheur d’être aimée pour ses derniers instants de vie. Elle est actuellement en traitement contre la teigne. Iris devra vivre exclusivement en appartement, sans accès à l’extérieur. Offrir un panier retraite à Iris, c’est lui permettre de finir sa vie dans la douceur, la sécurité et l’affection qu’elle mérite tant.

About IRIS

What life with IRIS looks like

IRIS is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

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 IRIS, answered.

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