Jeannot

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 11 years

Jeannot is a very kind cat. He is one of the many victims of abandonment: he was found on the street in a catastrophic state, his mouth eaten away by infections and abscesses, so painful that he could no longer eat.

FR·Show original

Jeannot est un chat très gentil. Il fait partie des nombreuses victimes de l'abandon : il a été trouvé dans la rue dans un état catastrophique, la gueule rongée par les infections et les abcès, si douloureuse qu'il ne pouvait plus s'alimenter.

About Jeannot

What life with Jeannot looks like

Jeannot is a medium-sized senior european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Vermelles in Vermelles.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jeannot, answered.

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