John

Mixed Breed · Male

John arrived at the foundation after his owners moved and didn't plan to take him. He is still shy with humans, so he will need time to feel confident. Once comfortable, he may accept petting and ask for it. He is looking for a gentle and patient family who will allow him to evolve at his own pace.

FR·Show original

John est arrivé à la fondation suite au déménagement de ses propriétaires qui n'avaient pas prévu de l'emmener. Il est encore timide avec les humains, il aura donc besoin de temps pour se sentir en confiance. Une fois à l'aise, il pourra peut-être accepter les caresses et en réclamer. Il recherche une famille douce et patiente qui lui permettra d'évoluer à son rythme. Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : JOHN, chat male EUROPÉEN de 7 ans

About John

What life with John looks like

John 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting John, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about John?: 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 John on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt John 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is John 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 John 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 John 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.
