Skua

European Shorthair · Female

We lived with 15 others in a really dirty place, and we were not at all loved... But look at me, I'm a beautiful cat, and I deserve a second chance. However, I am independent and proud of it. So, I need a garden to thrive, a cozy little spot in your home, and most importantly, informed, very patient, and understanding adopters. For now, I don't like being touched, but who knows, we could become good friends? Either way, I aspire to a better life. Can someone come and give me this chance and help me learn to trust again?

Nous vivions à 15 dans un endroit vraiment sale, pas du tout aimés ... Mais regardez comme je suis une jolie chatte, je mérite une seconde chance. Cependant je suis une indépendante et fière de l'être. Il me faut donc un jardin pour m'épanouir, un petit coin confortable dans votre maison, et surtout des adoptants avertis, très patients et compréhensifs. Pour le moment, je n'aime pas être touché, mais qui sait, nous pourrions devenir de bons amis ? Quoiqu'il en soit, j'aspire à une nouvelle vie plus agréable. Quelqu'un peut-il venir me donner cette chance et m'apprendre à faire confiance ? Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : SKUA, chat femelle EUROPÉEN de 9 ans

About Skua

What life with Skua looks like

Skua 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 Skua, answered.

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