Adopt Minou

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Age: born April 1, 2019 Identification: 250 269 590 330 226 Physical characteristics: a beautiful black and white tomcat. Tested FeLV/FIV negative, identified, spayed, vaccinated. Personality: here is Minou, a little man full of love and energy who is looking for a loving family. He is a shy cat at first, but will show curiosity to get scratches from strangers. This cat loves cuddles and being close to his human. He will come join you in your bed in the early morning for your wake-up and will make you forget your phone with headbutts that only he has the strength for. He will need his daily quarter-hour of play which he will involve you in and will find other entertainments in your apartment! He is a food lover and will accept any type of dry kibble and pâtées, and can easily be appeased by treats. This little cat, easy to live with, still needs a bit of training as he bites and scratches when he is upset. In a suitable atmosphere, he can gain confidence and limit this type of behavior. Therefore, he needs a home without young children. Story: found outside. Ideal placement: in a loving, playful home without young children. Contact: animal available in foster care in Paris. Contact Emilie after 7 pm or on weekends, by email or via the web form.

Age : né le 01 avril 2019 Identification : 250 269 590 330 226 Caractéristiques physiques : beau matou blanc et noir. Testé FeLV/ FIV négatif, identifié, stérilisé, vacciné. Caractère : voici Minou, un petit bonhomme plein d’amour et d’énergie qui ne recherche qu’une famille aimante. C’est un chat timide au premier abord, qui saura faire preuve de curiosité pour obtenir des grattouilles de la part d’inconnu. Ce chat adore les câlins et être proche de son humain. Il viendra vous rejoindre dans votre lit au petit matin pour votre réveil et vous fera oublier votre téléphone par des coups de tête dont lui seul à la force. Il aura besoin de son quart d’heure quotidien de jeu auquel il vous fera participer et trouvera d’autres amusements dans votre appartement ! Gourmand, il acceptera tout type de croquettes et pâtées, et pourra facilement être amadoué par des friandises. Ce petit chat, facile à vivre, manque encore un peu d’éducation en mordillant et en griffant lorsqu’il est contrarié. Dans une atmosphère propice, il pourra évoluer en confiance et limiter ce type de comportement. Il lui faudra donc un foyer sans jeunes enfants. Histoire : trouvé dehors. Placement idéal : dans un foyer aimant, joueur, sans jeunes enfants. Coordonnées : animal visible en famille d’accueil à Paris. Contacter Emilie au 06 61 18 65 29 (soir après 19 heures & WE), par mail ou par formulaire web .

About Minou

What life with Minou looks like

Minou is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Club de Défense des Animaux Paris 12 in Paris.

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 Minou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Minou?
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 Minou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Minou 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 Minou 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 Minou 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 Minou 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.
