Calin

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Câlin est arrivé au refuge avec plusieurs autres chats suite au décès de son propriétaire, qui vivait dans une situation de syndrome de Diogène. C’est un chat qui a toujours connu uniquement son maître et qui se retrouve aujourd’hui dans un environnement totalement nouveau. Câlin est un chat assez peureux, mais sans aucune méchanceté. Il aura besoin de beaucoup de temps, de patience et de douceur pour prendre confiance et apprendre à découvrir les humains à son rythme. Son passé explique sa grande réserve actuelle : n’ayant jamais connu d’autres personnes que son propriétaire, il doit progressivement s’adapter à une nouvelle vie et à de nouveaux repères. Ses ententes avec les autres animaux ne sont pas totalement connues, mais il semble bien s’entendre avec les autres chats, dont la présence pourrait l’aider à se rassurer.

About Calin

What life with Calin looks like

Calin is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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 Calin, answered.

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