BREST

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

The little BREST just arrived at the cattery with his sister BOMBARDE. Both are a bit scared and shy, which is a bit normal at first because they have to get to know the other kittens, a task that can sometimes be complicated😂. But they should become more comfortable soon. These two beauties must have a Siamese ancestor, which adds to their charm😻😻.

Le petit BREST vient d’arriver à la chatterie avec sa sœur BOMBARDE. L’un comme l’autre sont un peu apeurés et timides ce qui est un peu normal au début car ils doivent faire connaissance avec les autres minous, tâche qui peu s’avérer parfois compliquée😂. Mais ils devraient se montrer plus à l’aise dans peu de temps. Ces deux beautés doivent avoir un ancêtre siamois ce qui ajoute un plus à leur charme😻😻.

About BREST

What life with BREST looks like

BREST is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Le Refuge 61 in France.

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 BREST, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BREST?
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 BREST on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BREST 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 BREST 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 BREST 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 BREST 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.
