BEGONIA

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

BEGONIA is a very shy cat. She is a very clever cat because she escaped with STEVIA several times from the shelter. They are still outside just in front of the shelter to this day because they do not let themselves be (r)caught. We feed them at the entrance despite a seagull often stealing their dry kibble and pâtées. BEGONIA should only go out in a secure, enclosed area. The ideal family for BEGONIA is a family that will not be afraid to open their home to a very shy cat that needs to gain confidence. BEGONIA arrived at the shelter in 2023 with 4 other adult cats, 1 male junior cat, and 18 kittens. They came from an uncontrolled cat colony. Today, STEVIA and DHALIA remain at the shelter, the rest of the colony has been adopted. Estimated date of birth: 01/01/2022 Coat color: Black medium-length fur Arrival at the shelter on: 23/06/2023 Vaccinations performed: Vaccinated against Feline Leukemia but not up to date Identification:

BEGONIA est une minette très craintive. C’est une chatte très rusée car elle s’est échappée avec STEVIA à plusieurs reprises du refuge. Elles sont d’ailleurs toujours dehors juste devant le refuge à ce jour car ne se laissent pas (r)’attraper. Nous les nourissons devent l’entrée malgré qu’un goéland décide souvent de voler leurs croquettes et pâtées. BEGONIA ne doit sortir que dans un extérieur sécurisé et clos. La famille idéale pour BEGONIA est une famille qui n’aura pas peur d’ouvrir son foyer a un chat très craintif qui doit prendre confiance. BEGONIA est arrivée au refuge en 2023 avec 4 autres chattes adultes, 1 chat junior mâle et 18 chatons. Ils viennent d’une colonie de chat non maitrisée. Aujourd’hui, il reste encore au refuge STEVIA et DHALIA, le reste de la colonie a été adopté. Date de naissance estimée : 01/01/2022 Couleur de robe : Noire poils mi-long Arrivée au refuge le : 23/06/2023 Vaccination effectuée : Vaccinée TCL mais pas à jour Identification : Identifiée par puc

About BEGONIA

What life with BEGONIA looks like

BEGONIA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Chat Quiberon in Quiberon.

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 BEGONIA, answered.

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