Adopt JOEY

Mixed Breed · Unknown

I'm JOEY, almost 2 years old. I'm a Dubai rescue. I used to have a home there. Then one day, I was abandoned... and I wasn't ready to survive on my own. I was found lying on a busy road, too weak to walk, too tired to eat. I was sick, vulnerable... almost at the end. But someone stopped. After living for a while in a cage (where my little bucket came from), I was taken in, fed, and cared for... and slowly, I regained my strength. Today, I'm in good health. I'm a fighter. I'm a very affectionate, cuddly, and lively cat. I love human company and come easily for pets, especially on my belly. I'm also a big player and love interacting with those around me. My favorite activity? Watching birds through the window. I'm a bit chatty too. I love to tell my day and respond when someone talks to me.

Moi, c’est Joey Bientôt 2 ans Je suis un rescapé de Dubaï où j’avais une maison autrefois. Puis un jour, j’ai été abandonné… et je n’étais pas prêt à survivre seul. On m’a trouvé allongé sur une route très fréquentée, trop faible pour marcher, trop fatigué pour manger. J’étais malade, vulnérable… presque au bout. Mais quelqu’un s’est arrêté. Après avoir vécu quelque temps dans une cage (d’où mon petit bidon), on m’a recueilli, nourri, soigné… et petit à petit, j’ai repris des forces. Aujourd’hui, je suis en bonne santé. Je suis un battant. Je suis un chat très affectueux, câlin et plein de vie. J’adore la présence des humains et je viens facilement chercher des caresses, surtout sur le ventre. Je suis aussi un grand joueur et j’aime beaucoup interagir avec ceux qui m’entourent. Mon activité préférée? Regarder les oiseaux par la fenêtre. Je suis un peu bavard aussi. J’aime raconter ma journée et répondre quand on me parle. Contrairement à ce qu’on pourrait croire après mon histoir

About JOEY

What life with JOEY looks like

JOEY is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Gamelles Sans Frontière in Île-de-France.

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 JOEY, answered.

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