BIREBI. (en convalescence)

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Adult but still young, BIREBI is a calm and reserved cat who enjoys petting but not really her fellow cats. It would therefore be desirable for her to be the only cat in the house.

FR·Show original

Adulte mais encore jeune, BIREBI est une chatte calme et réservée qui apprécie les caresses mais pas vraiment ses congénères. Il serait donc souhaitable qu’elle soit le seul chat de la maison.

Frequently asked

Adopting BIREBI. (en convalescence), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BIREBI. (en convalescence)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Le Refuge 61 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BIREBI. (en convalescence) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BIREBI. (en convalescence) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Le Refuge 61 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 BIREBI. (en convalescence) 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 BIREBI. (en convalescence) 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 Le Refuge 61 early rather than rehoming privately; they know BIREBI. (en convalescence) 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.
