Adopt Bamboo

European Shorthair · Female

BAMBOO is a small, confident little cat who enjoys calm moments and prefers to decide when she comes looking for cuddles. She needs a home that respects her pace, with gentle, patient, and kind humans. Other animals, whether cats or dogs, tend to stress her out: she will therefore be happier without other four-legged companions. Bamboo is currently on a hypoallergenic underweight diet due to allergies. If given time to build trust, she will show her affectionate and endearing side. She simply needs peace to thrive. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to adopt a cat:

BAMBOO est une petite minette au caractère bien affirmé : elle apprécie les moments de calme et préfère décider elle-même du moment où elle vient chercher des câlins. Elle a besoin d& foyer respectueux de son rythme, avec des humains doux, patients et bienveillants. Les autres animaux, chats comme chiens, ont tendance à la stresser : elle sera donc plus épanouie sans autres compagnons à quatre pattes. Bamboo est actuellement sous alimentation hypoallergénique en raison d'allergies. Si on lui laisse le temps de prendre confiance, elle saura montrer son côté affectueux et attachant. Elle a simplement besoin de tranquillité pour s'épanouir. Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : BAMBOO, chat femelle EUROPÉEN de 11 ans

About Bamboo

What life with Bamboo looks like

Bamboo is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Fondation Brigitte Bardot 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 Bamboo, answered.

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