JOSH

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

JOSH is a gentle cat who is very shy. It will take time and patience for him to feel at ease and open up. He has no experience with the outdoors, and given his personality, he will be placed in an apartment without an outdoor space. He has always lived with other cats. He will need a patient family. We remind you that for the adoption of an animal, you must present the engagement and knowledge certificate dated and signed at least 7 days before your visit to the shelter. Without this document, you will not be able to adopt.

Josh est un gentil chat très timide. Il faudra du temps et de la patience pour qu'il se sente à l'aise et se dévoile. Il ne connait pas l'extérieur, et au vue de son caractère, il sera placé en appartement sans extérieur. Il a toujours vécu avec d'autres chats. Il aura besoin d'une famille patiente. Nous vous rappelons que pour l'adoption d'un animal, vous devez présenter le certificat d'engagement et de connaissance daté et signé au moins 7 jours avant votre venue au refuge. Sans ce document, vous ne pourrez pas adopter.

About JOSH

What life with JOSH looks like

JOSH is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SPA Cluses in Cluses.

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 JOSH, answered.

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