Adopt Bichette

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

My story: Bichette arrived through a free cat agreement. My character: Bichette is a little sweet girl who hides a heart full of affection behind her quiet nature. Very affectionate, she simply doesn't like to jump into arms; she prefers that you come slowly towards her, offer your hand, and let her take the time to decide if we deserve her attention. Once reassured, she loves contact and fully enjoys the caresses. Madame has her little refinements: she drinks only very cold water and loves it when you fill her bowl just after it's been cleaned. She is even suspected of secretly dreaming of a nice water fountain all to herself. Bichette also likes to observe the world from her cat tree, perched near the window where she spends long periods looking outside. I like / I don't like: Friendly, she is completely okay with other cats. She has not been tested with dogs. She will have to remain indoors.

Mon histoire : Bichette est arrivée grâce a une convention chat libre. Mon caractère : Bichette est une petite minette pleine de douceur, qui cache derrière sa discrétion un cœur débordant d’affection. Très câline, elle n’aime simplement pas se jeter dans les bras : elle préfère que l’on vienne doucement vers elle, lui tendre la main, et lui laisser le temps de décider si nous méritons son attention. Une fois rassurée, elle adore le contact et profite pleinement des caresses. Madame a ses petits raffinements : elle boit uniquement de l’eau bien fraîche et adore quand on lui remplit sa gamelle tout juste remise. On la soupçonne même de rêver secrètement d’une jolie fontaine à eau rien qu’à elle. Bichette aime aussi observer le monde depuis son arbre à chat, perchée près de la fenêtre où elle passe de longs moments à contempler l’extérieur. J'aime / J'aime pas : Sociable, elle est tout à fait ok chats. Elle n’est pas testée avec les chiens. Elle devra rester en intérieur.

About Bichette

What life with Bichette looks like

Bichette is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

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 Bichette, answered.

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