Berlioz

European Shorthair · Male

Hi, I'm Berlioz. My mom unfortunately couldn't take care of me anymore, so I ended up at the shelter. Since then, I've been preparing for my big return to a new family! I'm looking for calm and patient humans who can offer me safety and tenderness. I'm sure that with a little time and some purrs, we could become the best of friends!

Coucou, je suis BERLIOZ. Ma maman ne pouvait malheureusement plus s'occuper de moi alors je me suis retrouvé au refuge. Depuis, je prépare mon grand retour dans une nouvelle famille ! Je suis à la recherche d'humains calmes et patients qui sauront m'offrir sécurité et douceur. Je suis certain qu'avec un peu de temps et quelques ronrons, nous pourrions devenir les meilleurs amis du monde !

About Berlioz

What life with Berlioz looks like

Berlioz 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 Berlioz, answered.

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