Josy

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

Les chats signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Josy est arrivée au refuge avec plusieurs autres chats suite au décès de son propriétaire, qui vivait dans une situation de syndrome de Diogène. C’est une chatte qui a toujours connu uniquement son maître et qui se retrouve aujourd’hui confrontée à un environnement totalement nouveau. Josy est très peureuse face aux personnes qu’elle ne connaît pas et face aux nouveautés. Elle aura besoin de beaucoup de temps, de patience et de douceur pour apprendre à faire confiance et prendre ses repères dans son futur foyer. Son passé explique sa grande réserve : n’ayant jamais été habituée à d’autres humains que son propriétaire, elle doit progressivement découvrir un nouveau monde à son rythme.

What life with Josy looks like

Josy is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Josy, answered.

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