How do I contact the shelter about Bibou?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. CAT handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bibou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bibou if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — CAT 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 Bibou 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 Bibou 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 CAT early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bibou 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.

Bibou

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Magnificent Bibou! If he were younger and cuter, he would have found his family a long time ago... But Bibou is a 9-year-old cat who has had his share of street life. The human? Not reliable according to him... He did have a home, a long time ago... But he was neglected, not cared for, and eventually thrown out. Now Bibou wants to rely only on himself. He found himself here against his will. But the place where he lived could no longer accommodate him. Since January, he has been prostrate in his small hut. He doesn't bother anyone... he stays there, day after day, his gaze empty. No doubt he dreams of wide spaces, hunting parties, and trees he could maybe start climbing again. And if his dream came true? That's where you come in! We would like to find him a place where he can live as he pleases, without being asked to be cuddly and purring. He needs a place to live freely, where he can take shelter, food, and a little daily supervision to make sure everything is fine. That's all. So... if you think you have a little place for him... a cottage, a farm, a large property where the road is not a source of constant anxiety, contact us. Adoptable within a 250 km radius of Chabris (36) Do you want to adopt me? Contact us by leaving your phone number so we can call you back. Contact email here

Qui suis-je ? voici BIBOU Magnifique n’est ce pas? S’il avait été jeune et câlin il aurait sûrement trouvé sa famille depuis longtemps … Mais voila, Bibou est un matou de 9 ans qui a roulé sa bosse comme chat des rues. L’humain ? Pas fiable selon lui… Il a pourtant eu un foyer, voila bien longtemps…Mais on l’a dédaigné, pas soigné et finalement jeté dehors. Désormais Bibou ne veut compter que sur lui même. Il s’est retrouvé chez nous bien malgré lui. Mais le site où il vivait ne pouvait plus l’accueillir. Depuis janvier il reste prostré dans sa petite cabane. Il n’embête personne… il reste la, jour après jour, le regard dans le vide. Sans doute rêve t il de grands espaces, de parties de chasse et d’arbres qu’il pourrait peut-être un jour recommencer à escalader. Et si son rêve devenait réalité ? Et c’est la que vous intervenez! Nous aimerions lui trouver un endroit où il pourrait vivre comme il l’entend, sans qu’on lui demande d’être câlin et ronronnant. Il a besoin d’un endroit où vivre libre, où il pourra s’abriter, de nourriture, et d’une petite surveillance quotidienne histoire de contrôler que tout va bien. Et c’est tout Alors… si vous pensez avoir une petite place pour lui… un gite, une ferme, une grande propriété où la route ne serait pas source d’angoisse permanente, contactez nous. Adoptable dans un secteur de 250 kms maximum autour de Chabris (36) Vous voulez m’adopter ? contactez nous en laissant votre numéro de téléphone afin que nous vous rappelions contact mail ici

About Bibou

What life with Bibou looks like

Bibou is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at CAT in chabris.

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.
