Minette

European Shorthair · Female

Hello! My name is Minette. I'm here because my owner passed away forever... Unfortunately, life in the shelter isn't made for me, I had a hard time adjusting, even though I made big efforts. I am a Minette cat, quite calm, fairly independent, who isn't afraid of being alone. I would still be very happy to have a family. It will just take me a little time to adapt together. I'm looking forward to meeting you! Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Bonjour ! Moi c'est MINETTE. Je suis là car ma propriétaire est partie pour toujours.. Malheureusement la vie de refuge n'est pas faite pour moi, j'ai eu du mal à m'habituer, même si j'ai fait de gros efforts. Je suis une minette tranquille, assez indépendante, qui n'a pas peur de rester seule. Je serai quand même bien contente d'avoir une famille. Il me faudra juste un peu de temps pour qu'on s'adapte ensemble. Je vous attends ! Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : MINETTE, chat femelle EUROPÉEN de 9 ans

About Minette

What life with Minette looks like

Minette 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 Minette, answered.

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