Bess et Boy

Mixed Breed · Female · 6 months

Bess and Boy have a little message for you 💕 Hello, I'm Bess! And here's my brother Boy! We are brother and sister and have shared our daily lives together since forever. We are very close: we play together, take naps together and spend a lot of time together. Our foster family thinks we make a lovely little duo, so a joint adoption would be ideal for us. But if a double adoption isn't really possible, a separation can still be considered. Bess, the sweet little girl I'm more timid than my brother. I needed a few days to understand that the humans around me were kind and that I could trust them. Now that I'm reassured, I show myself much more affectionate. I purr willingly and let myself be approached with pleasure. I am a sweet, curious and absolutely not aggressive little cat. Even when I was still very shy and hid a lot, I let myself be caught easily. I am also a champion of hide-and-seek... so if you don't find me anymore, look in the most unlikely corners! I especially love taking naps in plants and I love playing with my brother. Let's just say that games for two are always more fun! Boy, the little adventurer I'm a big player, curious and full of character! Everything that moves, dangles or trails is likely to become a toy... so you can tell I never run out of things to do! I also have a weakness for food. I'm always very interested in what's happening at the table and I'm never far away when there's something to eat. Let's just say I'm a little gourmand... very motivated! I also like to drink from human glasses or from the dog's bowl: why make things simple when you can taste everywhere? I am very comfortable with humans, not aggressive and rather intrepid. Even the dog doesn't impress me much! Sometimes I can even make him understand that his croquettes interest me too. And then I have a particular passion: shoes! I love rubbing my head on them and even settling down to sleep. In short, I'm a little character with a lot of personality and a good dose of mischief! Life together We are very clean and no accidents have been reported since our arrival. We are both curious and non-aggressive with humans. We love exploring our environment and have a great passion for... plants! We sometimes chew on them or climb into them, with a particular preference for succulents. Our foster family has also discovered that the small crumbs left by the broom can make excellent snacks... everyone's tastes! Compatibility with dogs Compatibility with dogs is still to be monitored. We can coexist, but it is recommended not to leave us alone with a dog at first, while everyone finds their mark. It can happen that we make him understand that he is getting a little too close by spitting, especially when he passes close to us. Boy can also receive a few little pats when he sleeps. Our wish: to find a loving family that will respect our rhythm and offer us an environment where we can continue to grow and flourish. A double adoption is preferred to allow us to stay together, but a separate adoption can be considered if necessary. If you fall for our little duo, don't hesitate to contact us...

Bess et Boy ont un petit message pour vous 💕 Coucou, moi c’est Bess ! Et voici mon frĂšre Boy ! Nous sommes frĂšre et sƓur et nous partageons notre quotidien depuis toujours. Nous sommes trĂšs proches : nous jouons ensemble, faisons la sieste ensemble et passons beaucoup de temps tous les deux . Notre famille d’accueil trouve que nous formons un joli petit duo, alors une adoption ensemble serait l’idĂ©al pour nous . Mais si une adoption double n’est vraiment pas possible, une sĂ©paration peut tout de mĂȘme ĂȘtre envisagĂ©e. Bess, la petite douce Moi, je suis plus timide que mon frĂšre . J’ai eu besoin de quelques jours pour comprendre que les humains qui m’entouraient Ă©taient gentils et que je pouvais leur faire confiance. Maintenant que je suis rassurĂ©e, je me montre beaucoup plus cĂąline . Je ronronne volontiers et je me laisse approcher avec plaisir. Je suis une petite minette douce, curieuse et absolument pas agressive . MĂȘme lorsque j’étais encore trĂšs timide et que je me cachais beaucoup, je me laissais facilement attraper. Je suis Ă©galement une championne du cache-cache 
 alors si vous ne me trouvez plus, regardez bien dans les coins les plus improbables ! J’adore notamment faire mes siestes dans les plantes et surtout, j’aime beaucoup jouer avec mon frĂšre. Il faut dire que les parties de jeux Ă  deux, c’est quand mĂȘme bien plus amusant ! Boy, le petit aventurier Moi, je suis un grand joueur, curieux et plein de caractĂšre ! Tout ce qui bouge, pendouille ou traĂźne est susceptible de devenir un jouet
 autant vous dire que je ne manque jamais d’occupation ! J’ai aussi un petit faible pour la nourriture. Je suis toujours trĂšs intĂ©ressĂ© par ce qui se passe Ă  table et je ne suis jamais bien loin lorsqu’il y a quelque chose Ă  manger. Disons que je suis un petit gourmand
 trĂšs motivĂ© ! J’aime aussi boire dans les verres des humains ou dans la gamelle du chien : pourquoi faire simple quand on peut goĂ»ter partout ? Je suis trĂšs Ă  l’aise avec les humains, pas agressif et plutĂŽt intrĂ©pide . MĂȘme le chien ne m’impressionne pas beaucoup ! Je peux parfois aller lui faire comprendre que ses croquettes m’intĂ©ressent aussi. Et puis j’ai une passion un peu particuliĂšre : les chaussures J’adore me frotter la tĂȘte dessus et mĂȘme m’y installer pour dormir. Bref, je suis un petit personnage avec beaucoup de personnalitĂ© et une bonne dose de malice ! La vie Ă  deux Nous sommes trĂšs propres et aucun accident n’a Ă©tĂ© constatĂ© depuis notre arrivĂ©e. Nous sommes tous les deux curieux et non agressifs avec les humains . Nous aimons explorer notre environnement et avons notamment une grande passion pour
 les plantes ! Nous aimons parfois les mĂąchouiller ou grimper dedans, avec une prĂ©fĂ©rence toute particuliĂšre pour les plantes grasses. Notre famille d’accueil a Ă©galement dĂ©couvert que les petites miettes laissĂ©es par le balai pouvaient constituer un excellent encas
 chacun ses goĂ»ts ! Entente avec les chiens L’entente avec les chiens est encore Ă  surveiller . Nous pouvons cohabiter, mais il est recommandĂ© de ne pas nous laisser seuls avec un chien au dĂ©but , le temps que chacun trouve ses marques. Il peut arriver que nous lui fassions comprendre qu’il s’approche un peu trop en crachant, notamment lorsqu’il passe prĂšs de nous. Boy peut Ă©galement recevoir quelques petits coups de patte lorsqu’il dort. Notre souhait : trouver une famille aimante qui saura respecter notre rythme et nous offrir un environnement oĂč nous pourrons continuer Ă  grandir et Ă  nous Ă©panouir. Une adoption double est privilĂ©giĂ©e pour nous permettre de rester ensemble, mais une adoption sĂ©parĂ©e pourra ĂȘtre envisagĂ©e si nĂ©cessaire. Si vous craquez pour notre petit duo, n’hĂ©sitez pas Ă  nous contacter

About Bess et Boy

What life with Bess et Boy looks like

Bess et Boy is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Des Coeurs Ă  Sauver in des coeurs a sauver.

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.

đŸ‡«đŸ‡·Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bess et Boy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bess et Boy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Des Coeurs à Sauver handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bess et Boy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bess et Boy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Des Coeurs à Sauver 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bess et Boy 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 Bess et Boy 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 Des Coeurs à Sauver early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bess et Boy 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.
