Anabelle

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Coucou les chamis, Moi, c'est Anabelle. Je suis une jolie chatte blanche aux yeux bleus 😻. J'ai été trouvée errante il y a quelques mois. J'ai probablement passé une bonne partie de ma vie dehors 😔. De ma vie d'errance, j'ai gardé une certaine crainte de l'humain mais je me détends de plus en plus dans ma famille d'accueil. Néanmoins, je reste la plupart du temps dans ma pièce attitrée dans laquelle je me sens en sécurité. J'ai découvert les jouets et c'est une révélation!! J'adore jouer! Je suis une gourmande aussi, je ne résiste pas à de bonnes croquettes. J'apprécie également lorsque ma maman d'accueil me brosse. Je cherche une famille patiente, sans enfants en bas âge ni autre chat (ils me font peur), qui me laissera le temps de prendre confiance. Vous êtes cette personne? Venez me rencontrer! A tout bientôt! Anabelle ❤️

About Anabelle

What life with Anabelle looks like

Anabelle is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at HumanIma ASBL in Ottignies (Brabant Wallon).

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 Anabelle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Anabelle?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. HumanIma ASBL handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Anabelle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Anabelle if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — HumanIma ASBL 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 Anabelle 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 Anabelle 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 HumanIma ASBL early rather than rehoming privately; they know Anabelle 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.
