Bebe

European Shorthair · Male

Bebe has a sweet, almost mischievous name for a cat of his age... for indeed, behind this endearing name lies a very elderly companion, with eyes full of history and wisdom. Today, Bebe primarily needs calm, warmth, and a home where he can feel safe. Very gentle and endearing, he appreciates peace and the reassuring presence of a human by his side. He is no longer a young adventurer, but a peaceful cat savoring the simple moments. Bebe suffers from health issues, including thyroid problems and a fragile heart. These vulnerabilities require special attention, but most importantly, a stable and serene environment, far from the stress of life in the shelter, which is no longer adapted to his needs. Offering him an adoption, even for a shorter duration, is a huge chance: to end his life surrounded, at peace, and loved. In a calm and benevolent home, Bebe could truly gain in comfort and quality of life. Adopting Bebe is a deeply touching gesture. It is to offer an elderly companion the most beautiful of endings: a gentle, dignified, and tender-filled end of life. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

BEBE porte un nom plein de douceur, presque espiègle pour un chat de son âge... car oui, derrière ce prénom attendrissant se cache un compagnon très âgé, au regard chargé d'histoire et de sagesse. Aujourd'hui, BEBE a surtout besoin de calme, de chaleur et d'un foyer où il pourra se sentir en sécurité. Très doux et attachant, il apprécie la tranquillité et la présence rassurante d'un humain à ses côtés. Ce n'est plus un jeune aventurier, mais un chat paisible qui savoure les petits moments simples. BEBE souffre de problèmes de santé, notamment de la thyroïde ainsi que d'un cœur fragile. Ces fragilités demandent une attention particulière, mais surtout un environnement stable et serein, bien loin du stress de la vie en refuge, qui n'est plus adapté à ses besoins. Lui offrir une adoption, même pour une durée peut-être plus courte, c'est lui donner une chance immense : celle de finir sa vie entouré, apaisé, et aimé. Dans un foyer calme et bienveillant, BEBE pourrait réellement gagner en confort et en qualité de vie. Adopter BEBE, c'est faire un geste profondément touchant. C'est offrir à un vieux compagnon la plus belle des fins : une fin de vie douce, digne et remplie de tendresse.

About Bebe

What life with Bebe looks like

Bebe 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 Bebe, answered.

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