Eleven

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 8 years

Eleven arrived at the shelter along with several other cats, as his owners unfortunately could no longer afford to care for them. He’s an adorable, sociable cat who gets along just as well with other cats as he does with dogs and even parakeets. This remarkable adaptability makes him a companion who can easily find his place in a home already shared with other animals. With people, Eleven initially tends to be a bit reserved. He needs some time to build trust, but once he feels safe and secure, he reveals an affectionate, gentle, and endearing personality. A patient family that respects his pace and is willing to give him the time he needs to open up would be perfect for him. As for his health, Eleven is a carrier of FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), commonly known as “cat AIDS.” He also has a mass located near his heart, which unfortunately shortens his life expectancy. Despite this, today, he’s still enjoying life and more than ever deserves to experience the happiness of a real, loving home. Due to his FIV status, Eleven must live exclusively indoors, with no access to the outdoors, in a calm and secure environment.

Eleven est arrivé au refuge avec plusieurs autres chats, ses propriétaires n’ayant malheureusement plus les moyens de s’occuper d’eux. C’est un adorable chat sociable, qui s’entend aussi bien avec les autres chats qu’avec les chiens et même les perruches. Cette grande capacité d’adaptation en fait un compagnon qui pourra facilement trouver sa place dans un foyer déjà composé d’autres animaux. Avec l’humain, Eleven se montre d’abord un peu réservé. Il a besoin d’un peu de temps pour accorder sa confiance, mais une fois rassuré, il révèle un caractère affectueux, doux et attachant. Une famille patiente, respectueuse de son rythme et prête à lui laisser le temps de s’ouvrir sera idéale pour lui. Concernant sa santé, Eleven est porteur du FIV (sida du chat). Il présente également une masse située à proximité du cœur, qui réduit malheureusement son espérance de vie. Malgré cela, aujourd’hui, il profite encore de la vie et mérite plus que jamais de connaître le bonheur d’un véritable foyer. En raison de son FIV, Eleven devra vivre exclusivement en intérieur, sans accès à l’extérieur, dans un environnement calme et sécurisé.

About Eleven

What life with Eleven looks like

Eleven is a 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 Eleven, answered.

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