Maya

Mixed Breed · Female

I'm the lovely Maya. I was a wild cat, but a kind gentleman took me under his wing. Sadly, one day he went to the stars... The our shelter took me in, and today, I hope with all my heart to find a home of my own. Even though I'm FIV-positive and will need to avoid contact with other cats... I'm so cute, affectionate, and I love my good little treats! I'm waiting for you! Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Je suis la jolie MAYA. J'étais une chatte sauvage, puis un gentil monsieur m'a prise sous son aile mais hélas, un jour il est parti vers les étoiles... La Fondation m'a récupérée, et aujourd'hui, j'espère de tout coeur trouver un foyer à moi. Même si je suis positive à la leucose féline et qu'il faudra donc éviter le contact avec d'autres chats... Je suis si mignonne, câline, et j'adore les bons p'tits plats ! Je vous attends ! Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : MAYA, chat femelle EUROPÉEN de 13 ans

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maya, answered.

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