How do I contact the shelter about Joyce?

Can I adopt Joyce 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Joyce 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.

What happens if Joyce 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 Joyce and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Joyce

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Joyce previously lived with an elderly gentleman who unfortunately was no longer able to care for her and had to enter a retirement home. She also cohabited with many other cats in a caravan environment. She is a fearful cat but not aggressive, who will need time, patience, and gentleness to learn to trust and feel safe. With respectful accompaniment at her own pace, she will gradually evolve and gain in serenity. Regarding her interactions, Joyce has lived with other cats and may be able to cohabitate with other animals of the same species once she is reassured. Accustomed to an outdoor lifestyle, she will need access to the outdoors to fully flourish. Joyce is seeking a calm and kind family willing to offer her the stability, security, and respect she needs. In return, she will, at her own pace, regain trust and enjoy a more serene and peaceful life.

FR·Show original

Joyce vivait auparavant avec un monsieur âgé, qui n’était malheureusement plus en mesure de s’occuper d’elle et a dû entrer en maison de repos. Elle cohabitait également avec de nombreux autres chats dans un environnement en caravane. C’est une chatte peureuse, mais pas agressive, qui aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour apprendre à faire confiance et se sentir en sécurité. Avec un accompagnement respectueux de son rythme, elle pourra progressivement évoluer et gagner en sérénité. Concernant ses ententes, Joyce a vécu avec d’autres chats et pourra probablement cohabiter avec des congénères respectueux une fois rassurée. Habituée à un mode de vie extérieur, elle aura besoin d’un accès à l’extérieur pour pouvoir s’épanouir pleinement. Joyce recherche une famille calme et bienveillante, prête à lui offrir la stabilité, la sécurité et le respect dont elle a besoin. En retour, elle pourra, à son rythme, retrouver confiance et profiter d’une vie plus sereine et apaisée.
