How do I contact the shelter about JAVA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Instinct Félin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw JAVA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt JAVA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Instinct Félin 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 JAVA 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 JAVA 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 Instinct Félin early rather than rehoming privately; they know JAVA 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.

JAVA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Java, the epitome of serenity, is a young mother under one year old. She is a large feline with beautiful, expressive green eyes. 💚 Java lived in a "home" where she was in danger. She was therefore taken to safety in an emergency with her four kittens. Despite this difficult start in life, Mother Java is a very calm cat. She has no aggression and does not seek conflict. Java will need a patient family that will give her some time to feel safe. At first, she observes... then, little by little, she gets closer, always staying close to us. 🤫 Her little secret? The bag of treats! 😋 As soon as she recognizes the sound of the sachet, she comes to rub against your legs and lets herself be caressed willingly. ❤️ 🐶 She is OK with dogs, even with large breeds. 🐱 She also seeks the company of other cats. 🏡 Java will absolutely need an outside area. The added bonus would be to have a feline friend, as she appreciates their presence and seeks contact. Come meet this beautiful, slender flea! 🥰 🐾 Java will join her identified family, spayed and dewormed, with a certificate of good health. 💛 A financial contribution will be requested to help my friends and girlfriends from the street who, like me, will be entitled to a second chance. 📍 I am visible in Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban. 📱 You can reach my aunt Manon at 06 85 82 00 11 by SMS.

🐾 JAVA, LA ZÉNITUDE INCARNÉE 🐾 Je vous présente Java, une jeune maman de moins d’un an. C’est une grande féline avec de magnifiques yeux verts très expressifs ! 💚 Java vivait dans un « foyer » où elle était en danger. Elle a donc été mise à l’abri en urgence avec ses 4 petits. Malgré ce début de vie difficile, Maman Java est une chatte très calme. Elle n’a aucune agressivité et ne va pas au conflit. Java aura besoin d’une famille patiente, qui saura lui laisser un peu de temps pour se sentir en sécurité. Au départ, elle observe… puis, petit à petit, elle se rapproche, tout en restant toujours à proximité de nous. 🤫 Son petit secret ? Le sac de friandises ! 😋 Dès qu’elle reconnaît le bruit du sachet, elle vient se frotter à vos jambes et se laisse volontiers caresser. ❤️ 🐶 Elle est OK chien, même avec les gros formats. 🐱 Elle recherche également la compagnie des autres chats. 🏡 Java aura impérativement besoin d’un extérieur. Le petit plus serait d’avoir un copain chat, car elle apprécie leur présence et recherche le contact. Venez rencontrer cette jolie puce longiligne ! 🥰 🐾 Java rejoindra sa famille identifiée, stérilisée et vermifugée, avec un certificat de bonne santé. 💛 Une participation financière sera demandée afin d’aider mes copains et copines de la rue qui, comme moi, pourront avoir droit à une 2e chance. 📍 Je suis visible à Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban. 📱 Vous pouvez joindre ma tata Manon au 06 85 82 00 11 par SMS.

About JAVA

What life with JAVA looks like

JAVA is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Instinct Félin in instinct felin.

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.
