Oldy

European Shorthair · Male

Hello, my name is Oldy. I am a very shy cat, but when I feel at ease, I become a real sweetheart. I love cuddles and also good little meals! My main issue is that I am FIV-positive, so I should not be in contact with cats who do not have it... Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Bonjour, je m'appelle OLDY. Je suis un chat très timide, mais lorsque je suis en confiance, je deviens un vrai amour. J'adore les câlins et aussi les bonnes petites gamelles ! Mon principal problème, c'est que je suis positif au FIV, donc il ne faudra pas que je sois en contact avec des chats qui ne l'ont pas...

About Oldy

What life with Oldy looks like

Oldy 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 Oldy, answered.

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