Bilbo

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Bilbo was born with his brothers and sisters in a basement. Fortunately, the owners discovered them and brought them to our shelter with their mom. He is not yet available for adoption, but can already be reserved. His slightly blurry photo isn't very good, but the group photo gives a better idea of his cute little face (second from the right).

FR·Show original

Bilbo est né avec ses frères et soeur dans une cave. Heureusement, les propriétaires les ont découverts et les ont amenés au refuge avec leur maman. Il n est pas encore à l adoption, mais peut d ores et déjà être réservé. Sa photo un peu floue n est pas très bonne, mais la photo de groupe donne une meilleure idée de sa jolie petite frimousse (deuxième à droite).

About Bilbo

What life with Bilbo looks like

Bilbo is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Association Secours Protection Animale (Manosque) in Manosque.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇷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 Bilbo, answered.

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