Violette

European Shorthair · Female

Violette, what a lovely name... I was found wandering on the road, alone... I am now in a shelter but I am still a bit timid. But with time and patience, I will show you my cuddly side. I do have my own personality: sometimes I want to be held, sometimes not, and that's up to me! Avoid contact with young children. I am waiting for my family! Share this page on Facebook or X-Twitter to Adopt a Cat:. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Violette, quel joli prénom... On m'a trouvée errante sur la route, seule... Je suis désormais en refuge mais je reste encore timide. Mais avec du temps et de la patience, je saurai vous montrer mon côté câlin. J'ai quand même mon petit caractère : parfois j'ai envie, parfois non, et c'est moi qui décide ! On évitera le contact avec les enfants en bas âge. J'attends ma famille ! Partager cette page sur facebook ou X-twitter Adopter un chat : VIOLETTE, chat femelle EUROPÉEN de 6 ans

About Violette

What life with Violette looks like

Violette 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 Violette, answered.

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