Adopt Surf

European Shorthair · Male

Hello, it's me, the handsome Surf! And life, as they say, is like a rollercoaster, with ups and downs. I hope I've finally had enough of the lows to deserve a little bit of happiness! Before being rescued by our shelter, I was left without care, without attention. Thankfully, I was put back on my feet, and now I want to discover the joy of a kind home where I'll live forever! Slowly but surely, I'm learning to trust and let myself be petted... Especially if someone takes me by the heart with a good meal! Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter Adopt a cat:

Bonjour, c'est moi le beau SURF ! Et comme la vie, ce sont des vagues, des hauts et des bas, j'espère avoir assez connu le creux de la vague pour avoir enfin droit à un peu de bonheur ! Avant d'être récupéré par la Fondation, j'étais laissé sans soins, sans attention. Heureusement, on m'a remis sur pattes et maintenant, je veux découvrir la joie d'un foyer bienveillant où je vivrai pour toujours ! Petit à petit, j'apprends à faire confiance et à me laisser caresser... Surtout si on me prend par les sentiments avec une bonne gamelle !

About Surf

What life with Surf looks like

Surf 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 Surf, answered.

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