How do I contact the shelter about Nimbus?

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 Nimbus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nimbus 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 Nimbus 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 Nimbus 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 Nimbus 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.

Adopt Nimbus

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 8 years

Identification: 250 269 611 834 244 Physical Characteristics: Beautiful white cat with bright blue eyes. Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV test negative. Nimbus is in perfect health, still slightly marked from his outdoor life, but will soon have a soft and spotless fur! Character: Nimbus is an independent, calm cat who enjoys both playtime and moments of tenderness with his humans. Very affectionate and greedy, he loves to rub against you and demand petting. Curious and playful, he particularly enjoys fishing rods and stuffed mice on a string, which he chases like an expert. Greedy, he knows the exact time for his meal, as proven by his constant attempts to beg for some dry kibble while waiting! Clean and easy to live with, Nimbus loves human company but also enjoys "making his own life" by observing his surroundings or simply by taking multiple nap spots! He adapts perfectly to his new environment and will be at ease quickly with the place and his humans. Nimbus is a good-natured and peaceful companion, looking for a family ready to offer him affection, presence, and a reassuring home. History: Nimbus was wandering in the courtyard of a western Parisian hospital before being taken in by the association. Ideal Placement: To be adopted into a loving, present home with a minimum of 50m2. An outdoor access area would be a plus, but not an obligation. He would likely be okay with the presence of children (minimum 8 years old) if they do not bother him when he does not want to play. Coordinates: Nimbus is visible in foster care in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. Contact Karine at (preferably by SMS, after 19:00 and on weekends), by email, or through the web form.

Identification : 250 269 611 834 244 Caractéristiques physiques : Beau chat au pelage blanc et aux yeux bleus clairs. Castré, vacciné, identifié par puce électronique, test Fiv/FeLV négatifs. Nimbus est en parfaite santé, encore légèrement marqué physiquement par sa vie dehors, il retrouvera très bientôt un pelage doux et immaculé ! Caractère : Nimbus est un chat indépendant, calme, qui apprécie autant les moments de jeu que les instants de tendresse avec ses humains. Très gourmand et attachant, il adore venir se frotter et réclamer des caresses. Curieux et joueur, il apprécie particulièrement les cannes à pêche et les peluches souris au bout d’un fil qu’il chasse comme un expert. Gourmand, il connaît très bien l’heure de la pâtée, la preuve, il essaiera toujours de venir quémander quelques croquettes en attendant ! Propre et facile à vivre, Nimbus aime la présence humaine mais il aime aussi « faire sa vie » en observant son environnement ou tout simplement en multipliant les coins de sieste ! Il s’adapte parfaitement à son nouvel environnement et se montrera à l’aise rapidement avec les lieux et ses humains. Nimbus est un bon compagnon doux et paisible, qui cherche une famille prête à lui offrir affection, présence et un foyer rassurant. Histoire : Nimbus errait dans la cour intérieure d’un hôpital de l’ouest parisien avant d’être pris en charge par l’association. Placement idéal : À adopter dans un foyer aimant, présent, dans 50m2 minimum. Un accès extérieur sécurisé serait un “plus”, sans être une obligation. Il se ferait sûrement à la présence d’enfants (minimum 8 ans) s’ils ne le sollicitent pas quand il n’a pas envie de jouer. Coordonnées : Chat visible en famille d’accueil à Paris 12ème. Contacter Karine au 06 17 36 76 16 (de préférence par SMS, soir après 19h & WE), par mail ou par formulaire web .

About Nimbus

What life with Nimbus looks like
