Jonquille

European Shorthair · Female

Hello, I'm a young cat named Jonquille, and I was picked up with my kittens at our shelter. I've had some tough moments as a stray, which makes me a bit shy. But I'm full of hope and ready to discover a new chapter in my life. My tortoiseshell beauty hides a tender heart that longs for gentleness and security. I appreciate quiet spaces where I can feel safe, and I need time to adapt to my new environment. Even though I'm a bit reserved, I'm curious and love observing everything that goes on around me.

Bonjour, je suis une jeune chatte appelée JONQUILLE, et j'ai été recueillie avec mes petits au refuge. J'ai vécu des moments difficiles en errance, ce qui fait que je suis un peu timide. Mais je suis pleine d'espoir et prête à découvrir un nouveau chapitre de ma vie. Ma beauté écaille de tortue cache un cœur tendre qui aspire à la douceur et à la sécurité. J'apprécie les espaces calmes où je peux me sentir en confiance, et j'ai besoin de temps pour m'adapter à mon nouvel environnement. Même si je suis un peu réservée, je suis curieuse et j'aime observer tout ce qui se passe autour de moi.

About Jonquille

What life with Jonquille looks like

Jonquille 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 Jonquille, answered.

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