JADE

Female · Adult · 7 years

JADE is not comfortable at the shelter, which makes her very reserved. In this context, she is afraid to show who she really is. She needs a calm, patient and understanding home, capable of giving her the time needed to adapt and gain confidence. With gentleness and stability, JADE will finally open up and reveal her true personality.

Jade n’est pas à l’aise au refuge, et cela la rend très en retrait. Dans ce contexte, elle n’ose pas montrer qui elle est vraiment. Elle a besoin d’un foyer calme, patient et compréhensif, capable de lui laisser le temps nécessaire pour s’adapter et prendre confiance. Avec de la douceur et de la stabilité, Jade pourra enfin s’ouvrir et révéler son vrai caractère.

About JADE

What life with JADE looks like

JADE is a adult cat waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

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 JADE, answered.

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