Jeanne 1

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Jeanne arrived at our shelter with her kittens after living as a stray in a garden for several months. She is a cat who has had a difficult journey and now seeks a stable and secure home. Jeanne is quite timid and will need time, patience, and gentleness to learn to trust and feel safe in her new environment. Her past as a stray and her role as a mother explain in part her reserve and need for reassuring routines. We do not yet know her interactions with other animals, so we must remain cautious and proceed with gradual introductions.

FR·Show original

Jeanne est arrivée au refuge avec ses chatons après avoir vécu errante dans un jardin pendant plusieurs mois. C’est une chatte qui a connu un parcours difficile et qui recherche aujourd’hui un foyer stable et sécurisant. Jeanne est assez craintive et aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour apprendre à faire confiance et se sentir en sécurité dans son nouvel environnement. Son passé d’errance et son rôle de maman expliquent en partie sa réserve et son besoin de repères rassurants. Nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les autres animaux, il faudra donc rester prudent et procéder à des présentations progressives.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jeanne 1, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jeanne 1?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Perwez) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jeanne 1 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jeanne 1 if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perwez) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Jeanne 1 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 Jeanne 1 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 Perwez) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jeanne 1 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.
