Quinoa

European Shorthair · Female

Hello, my name is Quinoa! I'm a sweet black and white cat. I'm very calm and love coming to sit near you for some cuddles or to snuggle in your arms. I also enjoy playing, especially with feathers or fishing rods. I could get along with your children if they enjoy playing with me; they would be great friends! Come meet me at our shelter.

Quinoa est une adorable minette noire et blanche au tempérament très calme. Affectueuse, elle adore venir près de ses humains pour réclamer des câlins ou se blottir dans leurs bras. Mais Quinoa sait aussi s'amuser ! Les plumes et les cannes à pêche font partie de ses jouets préférés et sont l'occasion de partager de beaux moments de partage. Sociable et douce, elle pourrait tout à fait s'entendre avec des enfants respectueux qui aiment jouer avec les chats. Ils deviendront sans aucun doute de formidables compagnons de jeu.

About Quinoa

What life with Quinoa looks like

Quinoa 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 Quinoa, answered.

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