JOY

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

She had found refuge in a mediation center and we have just taken her in. She is very sociable, gentle and affectionate but still a bit scared of her fellow dogs in the adoption room.

About JOY

What life with JOY looks like

JOY is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Chats des Rues in 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 JOY, answered.

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