Roy

European Shorthair · Male

I am named Roy. I am a very sensitive cat, perhaps a bit too much for some... I have already been brought back to our shelter because I need tenderness, stability, and a calm environment to feel good. But if I am fragile, I am also very endearing. I deeply love humans: your presence reassures me, and your gentle gestures help me calm down. With someone patient and kind, I open up and give all the love I have within me. I simply seek a quiet home where I can finally settle and be understood. Are you looking for the same? Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Roy est un magnifique chat noir aux poils longs. C'est un chat sensible, peut-être trop pour certains... Roy est revenu plusieurs fois au refuge car il a besoin de douceur, de stabilité et d'un environnement calme pour se sentir bien. Si Roy est fragile, il est aussi très attachant. Il aime profondément les humains : leur présence le rassure et les gestes doux l'aident à s'apaiser. Avec une personne patiente et bienveillante, Roy pourra s'ouvrir et offrir tout l'amour qu'il garde en lui. Roy cherche simplement une famille tranquille, dans laquelle il pourra se sentir bien. Offrez-lui la chance qu'il mérite ! Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : ROY, chat male EUROPÉEN de 6 ans

About Roy

What life with Roy looks like

Roy 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roy?
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 Roy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roy 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Roy 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 Roy 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 Roy 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.
