Happy

European Shorthair · Female

Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Hello, my name is Happy! I was found in a garden when I was very small, and then I was brought to our shelter. The adaptation was a bit tricky because the other cats wanted to play with me all the time, but I prefer my peace and quiet. Now, I get along a bit better with the others, and I even managed to make a new feline friend! But what I love most of all is having loving humans all for myself. I adore being cuddled in my tatas' arms, their kisses give me tickles, it's so wonderful! I have a unique charm: I always have my head tilted, which doesn't stop me from being very playful and affectionate. So, would you like to be my favorite human?

Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Bonjour, moi c'est Happy ! On m'a trouvée dans un jardin quand j'étais toute petite, puis on m'a amenée à la Fondation. L'adaptation a été un peu compliquée car les copains chats voulaient tout le temps jouer avec moi, mais moi, j'aime bien ma tranquillité. Maintenant, je m'entends un peu mieux avec les autres, j'ai même réussi à me faire un copain ! Mais ce que je préfère par-dessus tout, c'est avoir des humains aimants rien que pour moi. J'adore être bercée dans les bras de mes tatas, leurs bisous me font des chatouilles, c'est trop bien ! J'ai un petit charme unique : j'ai toujours la tête penchée, ce qui ne m'empêche pas d'être très joueuse et câline. Alors, tu veux bien être mon humain préféré ?

About Happy

What life with Happy looks like

Happy 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 Happy, answered.

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