Iris

European Shorthair · Female

Hello, my name is Iris. We are a group of cats who recently lost our benefactress, the one who had cared for us so much. Upon arriving at the shelter, we are still shy and reserved, but deep down, we dream of finding a home where we can feel safe once again. With time, lots of love, and a pretty garden to offer us a bit of freedom, we will learn to trust you and give you all the affection we have to offer.

Bonjour, je m'appelle IRIS. Nous sommes un groupe de chats qui avons récemment perdu notre bienfaitrice, celle qui nous avait tant choyés. Arrivés au refuge, nous sommes encore timides et réservés, mais au fond de nous, nous rêvons de retrouver un foyer où nous pourrons nous sentir à nouveau en sécurité. Avec du temps, beaucoup d'amour et un joli jardin pour nous offrir un peu de liberté, nous apprendrons à vous faire confiance et à vous offrir toute l'affection que nous avons à donner.

About Iris

What life with Iris looks like

Iris 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 Iris, answered.

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