Giny

European Shorthair · Female

GINY is an adorable black and white cat. Where she came from, there were dozens of them in an unsanitary living space, far too many, deprived of care, breeding uncontrollably, and often in poor condition. Fortunately, the situation has changed: they were saved thanks to the Foundation, which welcomed them, cared for them, and helped them get back on their feet. A true stroke of luck for them. Today, Giny is doing well and a new life awaits her. Meticulous and affectionate, she also has her own little personality: she might come looking for a cuddle, then, in a mischievous move, give a gentle pat... nothing mean, just her way of expressing herself. Like each one of them, she hopes to find a home all her own, to finally live a decent life, surrounded by love and purrs every day. She's waiting for her family... And could it be you?

GINY est une adorable chatte noire et blanche. Là d'où elle vient, ils étaient des dizaines dans un logement insalubre, bien trop nombreux, privés de soins, se reproduisant sans contrôle et souvent en mauvais état. Heureusement, la situation a changé : ils ont été sauvés grâce à la Fondation qui les a accueillis, soignés, choyés et remis sur pattes. Une véritable chance pour eux. Aujourd'hui, Giny va bien et une nouvelle vie l'attend. Mignonne et attachante, elle a aussi son petit caractère : elle peut venir chercher un câlin, puis, dans un élan de malice, donner un léger coup de patte... rien de méchant, juste sa façon à elle de s'exprimer. Comme chacun d'entre eux, elle espère trouver un foyer rien qu'à elle, pour enfin vivre une vie décente, entourée d'amour et de ronrons au quotidien. Elle attend sa famille... Et si c'était vous ?

About Giny

What life with Giny looks like

Giny 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 Giny, answered.

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