Stella

European Shorthair · Female

Hello, my name is Stella. My eyes are full of wisdom, and even though time has passed, my fur still retains the luster of better days. I am a discreetly charming little cat, but my heart is big and full of tenderness. I love human presence, their caresses, and the quiet moments shared in peace. I once knew the warmth of a home. But one day, illness struck my human... Heavy-hearted, she had to entrust me and my two sisters to the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, with the hope that we would each find a new home full of love. Today, more than anything, what I desire is a peaceful place where I could be the sole little queen. I don't ask for much, just a kind presence by my side, to whom I can give all the love I still have to offer. Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Bonjour, je m'appelle Stella. J'ai les yeux pleins de sagesse, et même si le temps a passé, mon pelage garde encore l'éclat des beaux jours. Je suis une minette au charme discret, mais mon cœur, lui, est grand et rempli de douceur. J'aime la présence des humains, leurs caresses, et les moments tranquilles partagés dans le calme. J'ai connu la chaleur d'un foyer. Mais un jour, la maladie a frappé mon humaine... Le cœur lourd, elle a dû me confier, moi et mes deux sœurs, à la Fondation Brigitte Bardot, avec l'espoir que nous trouvions chacune une nouvelle maison pleine d'amour. Aujourd'hui, ce que je désire plus que tout, c'est un endroit paisible où je pourrais être la seule petite reine. Je ne demande pas grand-chose, juste une présence bienveillante à mes côtés, à qui offrir tout l'amour que j'ai encore à donner.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella 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 Stella, answered.

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