Button

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Button is a magnificent 7-year-old ginger tom who was found wandering, with no one ever coming to claim him... Today, he hopes to finally find a family that will offer him the affection and stability he deserves. He is a gentle cat who enjoys cuddles and moments of tenderness. However, Button has a bit of a stubborn streak: he doesn't like being constrained and can be aggressive when he feels forced. He will therefore need a family that is attentive to his limits, able to respect his rhythm and give him the freedom to seek out interactions himself. A home without young children would be preferable. His compatibility with other cats and dogs remains to be tested. In the long term, access to the outdoors would be ideal to allow him to fully enjoy his environment. And if Button is the one your family is missing? This handsome ginger cat is simply waiting for someone ready to love him as he is. Adoption fee: 185 euros (including identification, sterilization, primary vaccination and deworming). Adoption is a thoughtful act that involves long-term responsibilities. A pet permit is mandatory for any adoption.

Button est un magnifique matou roux d'environ 7 ans qui a été trouvé errant, sans que personne ne vienne jamais le réclamer… Aujourd'hui, il espère enfin trouver une famille qui lui offrira la douceur et la stabilité qu'il mérite. C'est un gentil chat, qui apprécie les câlins et les moments de tendresse. Button a toutefois son petit caractère : il n'aime pas être contraint et peut se montrer agressif lorsqu'il se sent forcé. Il aura donc besoin d'une famille attentive à ses limites, capable de respecter son rythme et de lui laisser la liberté de venir chercher les interactions de lui-même. Un foyer sans enfants en bas âge sera préférable. Son entente avec les autres chats et les chiens reste à tester. À terme, un accès à l'extérieur serait idéal pour lui permettre de profiter pleinement de son environnement. Et si Button était celui qui manquait à votre famille ? Ce beau rouquin attend simplement une personne prête à l'aimer tel qu'il est. Frais d'adoption : 185 euros (comprenant 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 Button

What life with Button looks like

Button is an 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 Button, answered.

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