Adopt Josiane

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 9 months

My story: Josiane, also known as Josi. She came to me through a free cat agreement. My character: Josi is a very energetic cat... and above all, very talkative! It's impossible to be bored with her. Madame loves playing hide-and-seek. But beware: you must not find her too quickly, otherwise she will sulk! And above all, it's always her who hides—don't expect to switch roles by hiding somewhere so she can look for you... you could wait for hours. However, there is an infallible method to calm Josi down: lullabies. And if you sing them, it's even better! Her current favorite is "Ah, the Crocodiles." Behind all this energy, Josi is also a very affectionate and charming little cat. She likes to be held, enjoy tender moments, and receive all the attention she deserves. And she won't hesitate to run towards you to get some attention. A big player and naturally curious, Josi will need an outside area to fully thrive, explore, expend energy, and live her little adventures at her own pace. One thing is certain: with Josi, the house will be filled with life, tenderness... and conversations. I like / I don't like: She is okay with cats after an adjustment period, not okay with dogs. We will avoid young children because she chases them.

Mon histoire : Josiane, alias Josi Elle est arrivée grâce à une convention chat libre. Mon caractère : Josi est une chatte pleine d’énergie… et surtout très bavarde ! Impossible de s’ennuyer avec elle. Madame adore jouer à cache-cache. Mais attention : il ne faut pas la trouver trop vite, sinon elle boude ! Et surtout, c’est toujours elle qui se cache — n’espérez pas inverser les rôles en vous dissimulant quelque part pour qu’elle vous cherche… vous pourriez attendre des heures Il existe toutefois une méthode infaillible pour calmer Josiane : les comptines. Et si vous les chantez, c’est encore mieux ! Son grand classique du moment ? « Ah, les crocodiles » Derrière toute cette énergie, Josi est aussi une minette très câline et charmeuse. Elle aime être prise dans les bras, profiter de moments tendres et recevoir toute l’attention qu’elle mérite. Et elle n’hésitera pas à venir vers vous en courant pour avoir de l’attention. Grande joueuse et curieuse de nature, Josi aura besoin d’un extérieur pour s’épanouir pleinement, explorer, se dépenser et vivre ses petites aventures à son rythme Une chose est sûre : avec Josi, la maison sera remplie de vie, de tendresse… et de conversations J'aime / J'aime pas : Elle est ok chats après un temps d’adaptation , pas ok chiens. Nous éviterons les jeunes enfants car elle cours après.

About Josiane

What life with Josiane looks like

Josiane is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Josiane, answered.

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