Rafiki Alias Pompom Dit Chevrotine

European Shorthair · Male

Rafiki, also known as Pompom, prefers that his third name not be used, as it is associated with a difficult past. He was discovered by a lady and later taken in by the FBB after being severely injured by shotgun pellets. Thanks to careful care and lots of affection, he has fully recovered and is in excellent health. Due to his positive status for FIV, Rafiki must live in an apartment without the presence of other cats. Affectionate and particularly endearing, he stands out for his great gentleness and strong preference for cuddles. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Rafiki, également appelé Pompom, préfère que l'on évite l'usage de son troisième prénom, associé à un passé difficile. Il a été découvert par une dame puis pris en charge par la FBB, après avoir été grièvement blessé par des plombs de chevrotine. Grâce à des soins attentifs et beaucoup d'affection, il s'est aujourd'hui parfaitement rétabli et se porte très bien. En raison de sa positivité au FIV, Rafiki doit vivre en appartement et sans la présence d'autres chats. Affectueux et particulièrement attachant, il se distingue par sa grande douceur et son goût prononcé pour les câlins.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rafiki Alias Pompom Dit Chevrotine, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rafiki Alias Pompom Dit Chevrotine?
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.

Can I adopt Rafiki Alias Pompom Dit Chevrotine 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 Rafiki Alias Pompom Dit Chevrotine 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 Rafiki Alias Pompom Dit Chevrotine 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 Rafiki Alias Pompom Dit Chevrotine 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.
