Luna

European Shorthair · Female

Luna is a shy little cat, with a discreet and cautious temperament. She has long lived primarily outdoors. She was fed by a caring lady who looked after her, providing a reassuring sense of routine in a daily life filled with freedom and vigilance. Shy, Luna will need time to adapt to a new home. Patience will be key: you will need to accept letting her observe, hide, advance, then retreat, without ever rushing her. A calm environment will be essential for her, with the possibility, once she feels safe and secure, of regaining access to the outdoors or a protected space that respects her habits. A gentle, understanding family without immediate demands could accompany her step by step toward a more peaceful life. With time and much kindness, Luna could gradually reveal her sensitivity and form a precious bond with those who will know to wait for her. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Luna est une petite chatte réservée, au tempérament discret et prudent. Elle a a longtemps vécu principalement dehors. Elle était nourrie par une dame attentionnée qui veillait sur elle, lui apportant un repère rassurant dans un quotidien fait de liberté et de vigilance. Craintive, Luna aura besoin de temps pour s'adapter à un nouveau foyer. La patience sera la clé : il faudra accepter de la laisser observer, se cacher, avancer puis reculer, sans jamais la brusquer. Un environnement calme sera essentiel pour elle, avec la possibilité, une fois en confiance et en sécurité, de retrouver un accès à l'extérieur ou à un espace protégé qui respecte ses habitudes. Une famille douce, compréhensive et sans exigences immédiates pourra l'accompagner pas à pas vers une vie plus sereine. Avec du temps et beaucoup de bienveillance, Luna pourra progressivement révéler sa sensibilité et créer un lien précieux avec ceux qui sauront l'attendre.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna 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 Luna, answered.

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