Scooby

European Shorthair · Male

I'm the handsome Scooby. Where we were picked up, there were so many of us! I hope one day to find the comfort of a quiet and welcoming home. Just know that I'm a rather shy and independent cat, and I do like cuddles... but only when I feel like it! So, don't try to carry me: let's say Wednesday and Saturday are cuddle days, while Monday and Sunday are leave-me-alone days. You get the idea? I have personality, that's all! I need a calm environment and some outdoor space to be happy. I get along with my fellow animals of the same species and I'm looking for a patient family. And you know what? I even let myself be brushed sometimes... Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Voici le beau Scooby : il espère connaître un jour le confort d'un foyer calme et accueillant. Scooby est un chat assez timide et plutôt indépendant. Il apprécie les câlins, mais seulement lorsqu'il en a envie ! Inutile donc d'essayer de le porter : on pourrait dire que le mercredi et le samedi sont réservés aux caresses, tandis que le lundi et le dimanche, il préfère qu'on le laisse tranquille. Vous voyez le genre ? Scooby a du caractère, tout simplement ! Pour être heureux, il aura besoin d'un environnement calme ainsi que d'un accès à l'extérieur. Il s'entend bien avec ses congénères et recherche une famille patiente, capable de respecter son rythme. Et savez-vous quoi ? Il se laisse même parfois brosser : un petit privilège qu'il accorde à ceux qui ont gagné sa confiance.

About Scooby

What life with Scooby looks like

Scooby 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 Scooby, answered.

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