Colette

European Shorthair · Female

Hello, my name is Colette. My mom was a wild cat, and she had hidden us in a barn. We were picked up at our shelter and we're learning that being pet by four-legged creatures is very pleasant. Not to mention the nice little bowls of food. And napping warm and cozy. In the end, wild life is great, but in the form of daily walks in the garden, that suits me just fine!

Bonjour, je suis COLETTE. Ma maman était une chatte sauvage, et elle nous avait cachés dans une grange. Nous avons été récupérés au refuge et nous apprenons que les caresses des Deux-Pattes, c'est très agréable. Sans parler des bonnes petites gamelles. Et du dodo au chaud. Finalement, la vie sauvage, c'est bien, mais sous forme de balades quotidiennes dans le jardin, ça me va très bien !

About Colette

What life with Colette looks like

Colette is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Fondation Brigitte Bardot in Paris.

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 Colette, answered.

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