Tonic

European Shorthair · Male

I am Tonic. I came from a person who rescued and fed stray cats, but who had become completely overwhelmed... There were dozens of us at her place, multiplying unchecked. It was no longer possible. Fortunately, we were taken in by our shelter to find our respective families. We're waiting for you! Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Cat:

Je suis TONIC. Je viens de chez une personne qui récupérait et nourrissait les chats errants, mais qui s'était retrouvée complètement dépassée... Nous étions des dizaines chez elle, à nous multiplier sans contrôle. Ce n'était plus possible. Heureusement, nous avons été recueillis au refuge pour trouver chacun notre famille. Nous vous attendons ! Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : TONIC, chat male EUROPÉEN de 5 ans

About Tonic

What life with Tonic looks like

Tonic 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 Tonic, answered.

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