Noumea

European Shorthair · Female

Hello, my name is Noumea. I was found wandering near a road. Fortunately, the foundation took me in, as a nomadic life isn't exactly fun every day! At first, I'm a shy little cat, but with some time and trust, I reveal all my sweetness. I love cuddles and can't resist a little treat (my big weakness). I'm looking for a calm home with patient humans who are ready to offer me the love and security I need. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Cat:

Bonjour, je m'appelle NOUMEA. J'ai été trouvée errante près d'une route. Heureusement, la fondation m'a prise en charge, car la vie de baroudeuse, ce n'est pas rigolo tous les jours ! Je suis une chatte timide au premier abord, mais avec un peu de temps et de confiance, je dévoile toute ma douceur. J'adore les câlins et je ne résiste jamais à une petite friandise (ma grande faiblesse). Je suis à la recherche d'un foyer calme avec des humains patients prêts à m'offrir l'amour et la sécurité dont j'ai besoin.

About Noumea

What life with Noumea looks like

Noumea 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 Noumea, answered.

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