Portos

European Shorthair · Male

Hello, my name is Portos. I am a beautiful black cat, like a panther! But unlike a panther, I am rather shy. With patience and gentleness, I am certain we could build a wonderful bond. Behind my reserve lies a very affectionate cat. Now, let's keep this between us, but with a couple of treats, it might be possible for me to be tamed... I am looking for a calm and kind home where I can evolve at my own pace and reveal all the love that slumbers within me. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Bonjour, je m'appelle PORTOS. Je suis un joli chat au pelage noir, tel une panthère ! Mais d'une panthère, je n'ai que l'apparence... En réalité, je suis plutôt timide. Mais avec patience et douceur, je suis certain que nous pourrions créer une formidable complicité. Derrière ma réserve se cache un chat très câlin. Bon, cela reste entre nous, mais avec une gourmandise ou deux, il est possible que je me laisse apprivoiser... Je cherche un foyer calme et bienveillant où je pourrai évoluer à mon rythme et révéler tout l'amour qui sommeille en moi.

About Portos

What life with Portos looks like

Portos 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 Portos, answered.

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