Barilla

European Shorthair · Female

Hello, I'm Barilla! A nice piece of a cat, but that's no reason to boil me, right! I arrived at our shelter because my owner had to leave their home... We had many cats and other animals there! Today, I'd much prefer a quieter place, like a house or an apartment of my own with kind humans... You'll need to be patient as I overcome my shyness, but after that, I'll approach gently and we'll have lots of cuddles. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Bonjour, je suis BARILLA ! Une bonne pâte de chatte, mais ce n'est pas une raison pour me faire bouillir, hein ! Je suis arrivée à la Fondation car mon maître a dû quitter son domicile... Nous étions beaucoup de chats et d'autres animaux ! Aujourd'hui j'aimerais bien être dans un endroit plus calme, comme une maison ou un appartement à moi avec des humains bienveillants... Il vous faudra être patients, le temps que je surmonte ma timidité, mais après, je m'approcherai en douceur et à nous les câlins.

About Barilla

What life with Barilla looks like

Barilla 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 Barilla, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Barilla?
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 Barilla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Barilla 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 Barilla 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 Barilla 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 Barilla 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.
