How do I contact the shelter about Jimmy?

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

Can I adopt Jimmy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — La Patte Normande 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 Jimmy 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 Jimmy 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 La Patte Normande early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jimmy 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.

Jimmy

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Jimmy is a cat about 5 years old. Abandoned cat, we later found out that Jimmy has bullets in his body and was therefore shot. He can be cautious at first, but a little tenderness is enough to gain his trust. A cool and rather calm cat who loves cuddles and sweet moments. Some parts of his body are more sensitive due to his past and for this reason we will not place him with young children. Jimmy is okay with cats. We don't know how he gets along with dogs. Important point: Jimmy is in the early stages of diabetes. He doesn't have treatment but needs diabetic cat food. His condition has been stable for more than a year now so we hope you don't stop because unfortunately it's not his fault. He deserves to have his family! Placement possible in house or apartment (if large balcony or terrace) Identified, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed.

FR·Show original

Jimmy est un chat âgé d’environ 5 ans. Chat abandonné, nous avons découvert par la suite que Jimmy a des plombs dans le corps et s’est donc fait tirer dessus. Il peut se montrer méfiant au premier abord, il suffit d’un peu de douceur pour gagner sa confiance. Un chat cool et plutôt calme qui aime les câlins et les moments douceurs. Certaines zones du corps sont plus sensibles dû à son passé et pour cela nous ne le placerons pas avec des enfants en bas âge. Jimmy est ok chats. Nous ne connaissions pas son entente avec les chiens. Point important : Jimmy est en début de diabète. Il n’a pas de traitement mais il faut de la nourriture pour chats diabétiques. Son état est stable depuis plus d’un an maintenant alors nous espérons que vous vous ne vous arrêtez pas à cela car malheureusement pour lui il n’y est pour rien. Il mérite d’avoir sa famille ! Placement possible en maison ou appartement (si grand balcon ou terrasse) Identifié, castré, vacciné, deparasité. Frais d’adoption 100€

About Jimmy

What life with Jimmy looks like

Jimmy is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at La Patte Normande in Bolleville.

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.
