Aicko

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Aicko est un magnifique chat noir de 3 ans, arrivé au refuge suite au manque de temps et de présence de son ancienne propriétaire. Habitué à un quotidien avec peu d’interactions et de repères stables, il a développé une grande méfiance lorsqu’il se sent en insécurité. Très sensible aux mouvements brusques et à la peur, Aicko peut adopter un comportement agressif lorsqu’il se sent dépassé. Derrière cette carapace se cache pourtant un chat qui a surtout besoin de temps, de patience et d’un environnement rassurant pour apprendre à faire confiance. Sa sociabilisation devra se poursuivre en douceur, sur plusieurs semaines voire plusieurs mois selon son évolution. Aicko ne conviendra pas comme premier chat et devra rejoindre un foyer calme, sans enfants de moins de 16 ans. Il s’entend avec les autres chats et pourra vivre en intérieur uniquement, comme il en a l’habitude. Il est propre. Aicko recherche des adoptants patients et expérimentés, prêts à lui laisser le temps nécessaire pour évoluer à son rythme et enfin découvrir une relation basée sur la confiance et le respect. Frais d'adoption : 185 euros (Ccomprenant identification, stérilisation, primo-vaccination et déparasitage). L'adoption est un acte réfléchi qui implique des responsabilités sur le long terme. Le permis de détention d'un animal est obligatoire pour toute adoption.

About Aicko

What life with Aicko looks like

Aicko is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA La Louvière in Louviere.

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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Aicko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aicko?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA La Louvière handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aicko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aicko if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA La Louvière 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Aicko 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 Aicko 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 SPA La Louvière early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aicko 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.
