Joopy

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

🐾 Joopy, 12 ans, a besoin de retrouver ses repères. Du haut de ses 12 ans, Joopy est arrivé récemment au refuge. Un changement brutal pour ce matou qui ne comprend pas ce qu'il fait ici et qui se retrouve complètement perdu face à cette nouvelle situation. 💔 Aujourd'hui, Joopy est dans un état de stress très important. Il est encore impossible de l'approcher ou de le toucher. Il a besoin de temps pour digérer ce bouleversement et retrouver peu à peu un sentiment de sécurité. D'après son ancienne famille, Joopy est pourtant un chat qui apprécie les câlins et qui a besoin de calme. Mais pour le moment, sa peur prend le dessus et il faudra respecter son rythme, sans jamais rien lui imposer. 🏡 Pour Joopy, nous recherchons un foyer calme, patient et stable. Il aura besoin de beaucoup de temps, de douceur et de compréhension pour reprendre confiance. Son adoption devra se faire en sachant qu'il ne se laissera peut-être pas approcher tout de suite. Il faudra accepter de le laisser évoluer à son rythme, même si les progrès sont longs à venir. Joopy recherche un foyer sans chiens, sans autres chats et sans enfants, où il pourra retrouver la tranquillité dont il a besoin. Il a toujours vécu en appartement avec un balcon sécurisé. Un environnement similaire, rassurant et sans agitation, serait donc idéal pour lui. ❤️ À 12 ans, Joopy ne devrait pas avoir à tout recommencer. Il mérite de retrouver un endroit où il se sentira chez lui, où il pourra se poser et, peut-être, retrouver un jour le plaisir des câlins. Il ne demande pas qu'on le sauve en un jour, mais qu'on lui laisse le temps de retrouver confiance. Qui ouvrira sa porte et son cœur à ce petit papi qui a tant besoin de stabilité ? 🐾

About Joopy

What life with Joopy looks like

Joopy is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at SPA d'Annecy Marlioz in France.

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 Joopy, answered.

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