How do I contact the shelter about Mimi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mimi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mimi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 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 Mimi 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 Mimi 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 Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mimi 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.

Mimi

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Mimi is a beautiful cream tabby cat who was born on June 15, 2020. He has been tested FeLV negative and FIV positive, is identified, neutered, vaccinated, and friendly. Mimi is full of energy and will love to chase after a spring all day long and jump around to catch the mouse attached to a string. He is sociable and will immediately want to get to know you; he is not afraid and is even very curious. He is very talkative and will tell you lots of things. He needs human presence so much that he will follow you from room to room like a little dog, take naps right next to the couch or snuggle up close to you to feel your presence! And he will purr loudly to let you know how much he likes you. Mimi is very expressive and will quickly show you if he wants cuddles or not; indeed, he often just needs to feel close but no more. He has a strong personality and will quickly make it clear if he doesn't get the attention he needs. With his beautiful blue eyes, he will know how to make up for any mischief he does! He is positive for FIV, which means he carries the virus, but he is in very good health and lives an absolutely normal cat life. However, he should not be in contact with FIV negative cats or other cats because he doesn't like his fellow felines. History: Found outside. Ideal placement: In a family that is present enough and has sufficient space. Ideally with a small secure outdoor area. Not suitable for young children. Contact information: Mimi can be seen at a foster home in Paris. Contact volunteer Émilie at 06 61 18 65 29 (evenings after 7 PM and weekends), by email or online form.

Age : né le 15/06/2020 Identification : 250 269 591 631 865 Caractéristiques physiques : Beau chat tigré crème. Testé FeLV négatif, FIV positif , identifié, stérilisé, vacciné. Caractère : Mimi est chat qui a l’énergie d’un chaton. Du haut de ses presque 7 ans, il va adorer courir derrière un ressort toute la journée et sauter dans tous les sens pour attraper la souris accrochée à un fil. Mimi est sociable et va toute suite vouloir faire votre connaissance, il n’est pas peureux et il est même très curieux. Il est très bavard et va vous raconter plein de choses. Il a beaucoup besoin de présence humaine au point où il va vous suivre dans chaque pièce tel un petit chien, faire la sieste sur le sol juste à côté du canapé ou collé à vous pour sentir que vous êtes là ! Et il va ronronner très fort pour vous faire comprendre qu’il vous apprécie. C’est un chat qui va vite vous montrer s’il a envie de câlins ou pas, en effet il va souvent juste avoir besoin de vous sentir proches mais sans plus. Il a un caractère très fort et il va vite vous faire comprendre si on ne lui donne pas l’attention dont il a besoin. Avec ses beaux yeux bleus, il va savoir se faire pardonner s’il fait quelques bêtises ! Il est positif au FIV, c’est-à-dire qu’il est porteur du virus, mais il est en très bonne santé et a une vie de chat on ne peut plus normale. Il ne devra cependant pas être en contact avec des chats FIV négatif, ni avec d’autres chats car il n’aime pas ses congénères. Histoire : Trouvé dehors. Placement idéal : Dans une famille assez présente et avec une surface suffisante. Idéalement avec un petit extérieur sécurisé. Sans jeunes enfants. Coordonnées : Chat visible en famille d’accueil à Paris. Contacter Émilie (bénévole) au 06 61 18 65 29 (soir après 19 heures & WE), par mail ou par formulaire web .
