JIMMINY

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

JIMMINY is a 5-year-old cat who struggles with life at the shelter... Found wandering, JIMMINY will need access to the outdoors. JIMMINY enjoys cuddles but can be feisty! Young children and dogs should be avoided. All cats must remain indoors in the house/apartment for at least 6 weeks before being allowed to go outside, even if they are demanding. They need time to explore the home and mark it sufficiently (with their pheromones) to understand it as their home and learn to find their way back. This period can be extended if the cat is not yet comfortable within the home. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Jimminy est un beau chat de 5 ans qui supporte mal la vie au refuge… Trouvé errant, Jimminy aura besoin d’avoir accès à l’extérieur. Jimminy apprécie les câlins mais peut montrer du caractère! On évitera les enfants en bas âge et les chiens. Tout chat doit rester à l’intérieur de la maison/l’appartement pendant au moins 6 semaines avant de pouvoir sortir dehors, même s’il réclame. Il doit avoir eu le temps de faire le tour du foyer, et de le marquer suffisamment (avec ses phéromones) pour comprendre que c’est son foyer et arriver à le retrouver. Ce délai peut être rallongé si le chat n’est pas encore à l’aise au sein du foyer.

About JIMMINY

What life with JIMMINY looks like

JIMMINY is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

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 JIMMINY, answered.

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