How do I contact the shelter about Alban?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. L'Arche de Noé ASBL - SPA Maisières handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alban on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alban if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — L'Arche de Noé ASBL - SPA Maisières 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 Alban 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 Alban 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 L'Arche de Noé ASBL - SPA Maisières early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alban 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.

Adopt Alban

European Shorthair · Male

About Adoption Lost/Found Help Us Contact - Alban - Camélia >> This magnificent cat has had a difficult past, living in a cramped and unsanitary environment with many other cats; he was just another number among so many😔… Alban has never known the comfort of a real home, just overcrowding 🥺 Today, he is slowly discovering a more “normal” life, even if it is that of a shelter. At least he receives real meals, care, and attention… until something better! But still deeply marked by what he experienced, little Alban remains discreet, preferring to hide and observe. Behind his sad and fearful gaze lies a sensitive, gentle cat who will need time and patience. A family is needed that will show him that happiness is possible, that life can also be sweet with certain humans🥰 Our Alban is not a “turnkey” cat, but a beautiful heart mission ❤️ for gentle and respectful people of his pace. We know that this kind cat will open up to his new life 🌈 once he is calm, in a serene and benevolent environment; he deserves it so much!

About Alban

What life with Alban looks like

Alban is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at L'Arche de Noé ASBL - SPA Maisières in Mons.

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.
