Dounia

European Shorthair · Female

Hello, my name is Dounia, a beautiful black and white cat. Where I came from, there were dozens of us in an unsanitary living space, far too many, deprived of care, breeding uncontrollably, often in poor condition. Fortunately, the wheel turns: we were saved thanks to the Foundation, which welcomed us, cared for us, pampered us, and got us back on our feet! A stroke of luck for us! For now, we are all doing well and a new life awaits us. Each of us hopes for a home of our own, to finally live a decent life, with lots of love and purrs on the menu every day. I'm waiting for my family... Could be you? Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Bonjour, je suis DOUNIA, une jolie chatte noire et blanche. Là d'où je viens, nous étions des dizaines dans un logement insalubre, bien trop nombreux, privés de soins, nous reproduisant sans contrôle, souvent mal en point. Heureusement, la roue tourne : nous avons pu être sauvés grâce à la Fondation qui nous a accueillis, soignés, chouchoutés, remis sur pattes ! Une chance pour nous ! Car désormais, nous allons bien et une nouvelle vie nous attend. Chacun de nous espère un foyer à lui, pour vivre enfin une vie décente, avec beaucoup d'amour et de ronrons au menu de chaque jour. J'attends ma famille... Vous peut-être ? Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : DOUNIA, chat femelle EUROPÉEN de 7 ans

About Dounia

What life with Dounia looks like

Dounia 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 Dounia, answered.

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