Bao

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Bao is a very sweet kitten who already greatly appreciates moments of tenderness with humans. A bit shy (for no more than 1 minute!), he quickly reveals his true personality: a playful, affectionate, and endearing companion. With his irresistible gaze and soft fur, Bao melts anyone who crosses his path. Social with his own species, he will thrive fully alongside another cat, perhaps one of his brothers or sisters. His mother, Émilie, gave birth to 5 kittens: Bao, Brigand, Boxo, Barbadelle, and Bella. Bao is not available during the day for adoption; come meet him at his foster family!

Bao est un chaton très doux qui apprécie déjà énormément les moments de tendresse avec les humains. Un peu timide (pendant maximum 1 minute!), il révèle rapidement sa véritable personnalité : un compagnon joueur, affectueux et attachant. Avec son regard irrésistible et son pelage tout doux, Bao fait fondre tous ceux qui croisent sa route. Sociable avec ses congénères, il s'épanouira pleinement aux côtés d'un autre chat, pourquoi pas l'un de ses frères ou sœurs. Sa maman Émilie a donné naissance à 5 chatons : Bao, Brigand, Boxo, Barbadelle et Bella. Bao n'est pas présent en journée adoption, venez le rencontrer chez sa famille d'accueil !

About Bao

What life with Bao looks like

Bao is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Noé Brest in France.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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 Bao, answered.

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