Figaro

European Shorthair · Male

Figaro arrived at our shelter after his owner moved to a retirement home. He is a reserved cat who needs time and gentleness to feel secure. Playing with other cats of the same species, the presence of another cat would be a real plus to help him gain confidence, and he can also cohabitate with a dog. He will thrive in a calm and reassuring environment, with a loving family that will respect his pace. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Cat:

FIGARO est arrivé au refuge suite au départ de sa propriétaire en maison de retraite. C'est un chat réservé qui a besoin de temps et de douceur pour se sentir en confiance. Joueur avec ses congénères, la présence d'un autre chat serait un vrai plus pour l'aider à gagner en assurance, et il pourra également cohabiter avec un chien. Il s'épanouira dans un environnement calme et rassurant, auprès d'une famille bienveillante qui saura respecter son rythme.

About Figaro

What life with Figaro looks like

Figaro 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 Figaro, answered.

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