Noirette

European Shorthair · Female

I'm named Noirette and I arrived at the foundation when I was little. My family could no longer take care of me because we were very numerous. Since then, I've been living at the shelter. At first, I was very shy and didn't always dare to show myself during your visits... Now, it's much better, I've regained my confidence! And, let's be honest, I still really enjoy lots of cuddles.

Je m'appelle NOIRETTE et je suis arrivée quand j'étais petite à la fondation. Ma famille ne pouvait plus s'occuper de moi car nous étions très nombreux. Depuis, j'habite au refuge. Au début, j'étais très timide et je n'osais pas forcément me montrer lors de vos visites... Maintenant, cela va mieux, j'ai repris confiance ! Et, soyons honnêtes, j'apprécie quand même beaucoup les câlins. . Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : NOIRETTE, chat femelle EUROPÉEN de 12 ans

About Noirette

What life with Noirette looks like

Noirette 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 Noirette, answered.

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