Stirling

European Shorthair · Male

Hi, I'm Stirling: I'm a shy little cat who needs time to trust humans. But with some patience and treats, I might come out of my shell! I get along great with my feline friends, but no dogs for me! My inner panther might just show up! Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Cat:

Coucou, je suis STIRLING : je suis un petit chat timide qui a besoin de temps pour faire confiance aux humains. Mais avec de la patience et quelques friandises, je m'approcherais peut-être ! Je m'entends très bien avec mes copains chats mais par contre, pas de chiens ! Mon côté panthère risquerait de ressortir !

About Stirling

What life with Stirling looks like

Stirling 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 Stirling, answered.

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