Simon

Mixed Breed · Male

Simon, estimated born late 2023, is a kind and rather discreet cat. Simon took several months to trust the volunteers, but now he comes to say hello in the morning, asks for cuddles and is never far from us. At the shelter, he doesn't play yet and is rather calm, but the proximity with all the other cats doesn't seem to help him find his place. On the other hand, he never shows any aggression towards them, never participates in "fights", and lives his little life quietly. A little gourmand at the time of the wet food, his little coquetry when he looks at you will only melt you. Adoption preferably without young children due to his initial shyness. Don't hesitate to contact us to come and meet him "in real life". He will probably be a bit reserved at first, but no doubt he will be a very pleasant and kind companion.

FR·Show original

Simon, estimé né fin 2023, est un gentil chat plutôt discret. Simon aura mis plusieurs mois à faire confiance aux bénévoles, mais maintenant il vient nous dire bonjour le matin, réclame des câlins et n’est jamais bien loin de nous. Au refuge il ne joue pas encore et est plutôt calme, mais la promiscuité avec tous les autres chats ne doit pas l’aider à trouver sa place. En revanche, il ne montre jamais aucune agressivité avec eux, ne participe jamais aux “bagarres”, et fait sa petite vie tranquillement. Petite tendance gourmand à l’heure de la pâtée, sa petite coquetterie quand il vous regarde ne pourra que vous faire fondre. Adoption de préférence sans jeunes enfants du fait de sa timidité de départ. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour venir faire sa connaissance “en vrai”. Il sera probablement un peu sur la réserve au départ, mais nul doute qu’il sera un compagnon de vie très agréable et gentil. IMPORTANT : Adoption principalement sur le 92 et 75. En fonction de la distance pour le 78, 93 et 95. Pas d’adoption possible sur le 77, 91 et 94.

About Simon

What life with Simon looks like

Simon is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animacoeur in Courbevoie.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Simon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Simon?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animacoeur handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Simon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Simon if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animacoeur 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Simon 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 Simon 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 Animacoeur early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simon 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.
