Bella

European Shorthair · Female

Bella - Carinia >> This is a beautiful ball of love! It's a pleasure to introduce you to this adorable fluffball who loves to be pampered😄🥰 Bella's human mom had to move into a retirement home and unfortunately, like too often! Bella found herself without a home... Thanks to a kind and dedicated neighbor (the family couldn't take care of the kitten, like too often!) Bella was able to arrive at the shelter🥰 Without this lady, we would have paid little attention to the parents' cat🤨 and Bella might have been "expelled", pure and simple! We have something else to do than taking care of a cat... 🤨 But we are here for Bella! We will remedy this, it is our sacred mission to recover and help all these little companions that we no longer want❤️‍🩹💔 Bella is a deeply kind and cuddly cat, she quickly got used to the rhythm of the cattery😊 Previously living with 2 other cats (which we will tell you about later), she wanders very comfortably and already enjoys the small secure garden at their disposal. However, this should only be an "obligatory passage" to find a new family life! She will really make her future adopters happy as she is so affectionate ❤️🥰! Arrival on 03/06/26, release

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bella, answered.

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