Adopt JAMES

Male · Young · 2 years

James is very cute and very comfortable with humans. However, he has never learned to play and can be violent in his expressions. He will not be able to live with children. He will have to live in a kennel to be able to stretch his legs. He is also a big foodie! James does not like other cats or dogs.

Read original (fr)

James est très mignon et très à l'aise avec les humains. En revanche, il n'a jamais appris à jouer et peut se montrer violent dans ses manifestations. Il ne pourra pas vivre avec des enfants. Il devra vivre en pavillon pour pouvoir se dégourdir les jambes. C'est aussi un grand fan de nourriture ! James n'aime pas les autres chats ni les chiens.

About JAMES

What life with JAMES looks like

JAMES is a medium-sized young adult cat waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

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: Never learned to play properly and can show violent behavior in interactions. Needs house with garden access.

🇫🇷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 JAMES, answered.

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