Etna

Mixed Breed · Female

I am Etna. I have a past as a stray cat: a kind lady used to feed me and my companions, but unfortunately, she was no longer able to take care of us... Well, as they say, the past is behind us! Now, I am at our shelter and I patiently wait for the family that will come to adopt me. I am a rather shy cat at first, but once I feel at ease, I demand lots of cuddles! I am also quite greedy and a real chatterbox. I could live in an apartment or a house and would be more comfortable in a quiet home without young children. So, shall we meet?

Etna était autrefois une chatte errante : elle vivait avec d'autres chats, tous nourris par une gentille dame. Malheureusement, celle-ci n'était plus en capacité de s'occuper d'eux. Ils ont tous été accueillis au refuge et attendent patiemment leur future famille. Etna est plutôt timide au premier abord mais se détend une fois en confiance. Elle réclame alors plein de câlins ! C'est aussi une gourmande et une vraie petite pipelette. Etna pourra vivre en appartement comme en maison et sera plus à l'aise dans un foyer calme, sans enfants en bas âge.

About Etna

What life with Etna looks like

Etna is a small adult mixed breed 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Etna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Etna?: 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 Etna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Etna 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Etna 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 Etna 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 Etna 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.
