Baboom

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 4 months

My name is Baboom, and I arrived at the shelter as a tiny kitten along with my siblings. We were sick and needed extensive medical care. I’m the only one among us who hasn’t yet been lucky enough to find an adoptive home. I’m starting to feel really bored sitting alone in my cage. I’m mischievous—I tend to nibble—but then again, I’m just a little kitten, so I still have lots of things to learn. I’m very playful; in short, I’m a real little rascal! My adoption fee is €130, which covers all veterinary expenses: microchipping, first vaccination, and deworming. A security deposit check for €300 will be required from you, committing you to have me spayed or neutered once I reach six months of age. A commitment and knowledge certificate must be signed at least seven days before adoption. You’ll be able to sign it at the shelter, allowing you to reserve an animal. The shelter is open every day from Monday to Sunday (except Tuesdays) between 2 PM and 5 PM.

Moi, c'est Baboom, arrivé tout petit au refuge avec mes frères et sœurs. Nous étions malades et avons eu besoin de longs soins. Je suis le seul à ne pas avoir eu la chance d'être adopté. Je commence à trouver le temps long tout seul dans ma cage. Je suis espiègle, j'ai tendance à mordiller, mais je suis un chaton, il faut donc m'apprendre plein de choses. Je suis très joueur ; bref, un vrai petit coquin ! Mon adoption s'élève à 130€, ce qui comprend les frais vétérinaires : identification par puce électronique, primo vacciné, déparasité. Un chèque de caution de 300€ vous sera demandé, qui vous engage à me faire stériliser à partir de mes 6 mois. Un certificat d'engagement et de connaissance doit être signé au moins 7 jours avant adoption. Vous pourrez le signer au refuge afin de pouvoir réserver un animal. Le refuge est ouvert tous les jours du lundi au dimanche (sauf les mardis) de 14H à 17H.

About Baboom

What life with Baboom looks like

Baboom is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Baboom, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Baboom?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Périgueux handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Baboom on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Baboom if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Périgueux 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 Baboom 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 Baboom 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 SPA de Périgueux early rather than rehoming privately; they know Baboom 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.
