Gavroche

Mixed Breed · Male

I'm named Gavroche, like a Parisian titi monkey, maybe because of my cute black hat? I used to live with my mistress, a generous person who took in abandoned animals... But alas, she has gone to join the stars. Fortunately, the Foundation rescued me! At first, I was a bit grumpy, imagine leaving my home and my routines—it was tough... But now I'm doing well, I'm very gentle and sociable once my shyness is overcome, even though I remain an independent cat... Who wants to meet me? I need a house with a garden because I love going outside! If you have a dog, I won't bother it. I can tolerate other cats, but not if they're annoying, because then I'll gently put them in their place! Well, let's get a bowl of food, shall we?

Gavroche est arrivé au refuge car son ancienne propriétaire est malheureusement décédée. Il a alors été adopté par une gentille personne qui récupérait les animaux abandonnés. Mais hélas, elle aussi s'en est allée. Alors, il est arrivé au refuge. Au début, Gavroche était un peu grognon, mais qui peut lui en vouloir ? Il a dû quitter sa maison, ses habitudes et son quotidien. Maintenant, il va mieux : Gavroche est gentil et sociable une fois sa timidité surmontée. C'est un chat au caractère plutôt indépendant qui cherche une maison avec jardin car il adore aller dehors. Il pourra tolérer d'autres chats qui ne l'embêtent pas car il saura les remettre en place. Gavroche pourra également vivre avec un chien, à condition qu'il ne le sollicite pas trop. Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : GAVROCHE, chat male EUROPÉEN de 8 ans

About Gavroche

What life with Gavroche looks like

Gavroche 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gavroche, answered.

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