COLOMBE

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Statut : Abandonné Race : Européen Sexe : Femelle Puce électronique : 967000010644067Né : 14/07/2025 Pays : Belgique Au refuge depuis : 27/07/2026 COLOMBE est une chatte européenne pleine de douceur, qui ne demande qu'à donner et recevoir de l'affection — à condition qu'on lui offre un environnement calme et rassurant. Sensible et parfois craintive, elle cache un cœur tendre sous une carapace un peu fragile.COLOMBE est une chatte très câline et sociable, qui aime venir chercher des moments de tendresse avant d'aller vaquer tranquillement à ses occupations. Elle est propre et ne détruit rien au quotidien. Elle a toutefois peur des bruits et reste globalement craintive, ce qui demande un peu de délicatesse de la part de ses futurs adoptants.Ses besoins :Un environnement calme et stable, sans bruits soudains ni agitation excessive.Pas de jeune enfant dans le foyer, sa nature peureuse ne s'accommoderait pas bien de l'énergie et du bruit des tout-petits.Un accès extérieur n'est pas indispensable : COLOMBE ne réclame pas particulièrement de sortir, et quand elle le fait, elle ne s'éloigne pas beaucoup. Une vie en appartement pourrait donc lui convenir.De la présence régulière : si elle supporte plutôt bien la solitude, elle a montré des signes d'inconfort lors d'une absence prolongée de ses adoptants.Aucun autre chat ni chien dans le foyer : COLOMBE réagit par la peur puis par l'agressivité face à un congénère ou un chien, ce qui peut aussi la déstabiliser au point d'uriner sous le stress.Elle voyage bien en voiture, ce qui facilite les trajets chez le vétérinaire ou les déplacements.Nous recherchons pour COLOMBE des adoptants :Vivant dans un foyer calme et sans jeunes enfantsSans autre chat ni chien à la maison — elle a besoin d'être la seule boule de poils choyéePrésents régulièrement, sans longues absences répétéesDoux et patients, prêts à lui offrir des câlins... et à respecter aussi ses moments de tranquillitéCOLOMBE a tant d'amour à donner à qui saura lui offrir la sérénité dont elle a besoin. Si son profil vous touche et que vous pensez pouvoir lui apporter ce cocon paisible, contactez-nous par téléphone — notre équipe se fera un plaisir de répondre à toutes vos questions et d'organiser une rencontre avec elle.Adoption possible uniquement avec un ''permis de détention d'un animal'' si vous résidez en Wallonie.Pour plus de renseignements, merci de nous contacter UNIQUEMENT par téléphone au 02 204 49 50.

About COLOMBE

What life with COLOMBE looks like

COLOMBE is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Help Animals in Brussels.

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 COLOMBE, answered.

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