Adopt Espoir

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

It is a rather shy cat who will need time to adapt to an indoor life. We are looking for a family that likes challenges and will take the time to socialize her, and perhaps one day she will enjoy interactions with humans. Sans Collier is an animal protection association active in Belgium since 1972. Thanks to our two shelters and our social boarding facility, we save more than 1,700 abandoned, abused or lost dogs and cats each year.

Sans Collier est une association de protection animale active en Belgique depuis 1972. Grâce à nos deux refuges et notre pension sociale, nous sauvons chaque année plus de 1 700 chiens et chats abandonnés, maltraités ou perdus.

About Espoir

What life with Espoir looks like

Espoir 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 Espoir, answered.

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