How do I contact the shelter about Garfield?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animals Rescue Association handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Garfield on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Garfield if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animals Rescue Association 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 Garfield 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 Garfield 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 Animals Rescue Association early rather than rehoming privately; they know Garfield and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Adopt Garfield

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Garfield is looking for a forever home Garfield is a little guy about 4 years old (estimated age by the veterinarian). He was found in the garden of a volunteer, very emaciated. His long fur was in a catastrophic state, completely tangled and filled with knots, to the point that he had to be taken to the veterinarian to be shaved, as it was impossible to brush him. Taken in by the association, he has received all the necessary care and is slowly regaining his strength. Behind this difficult past lies an absolutely adorable cat Garfield is a loveable cat: Very gentle, cuddly, and close to humans. He adores being petted and also appreciates brushing moments (even if he may have his little limits, which will need to be respected). We do not yet know his interactions with other cats or dogs. Garfield will need a calm and loving environment… and he would be very happy to be able to enjoy a garden again to play safely. His fur is not perfect yet, but with time, care, and lots of love, he will regain all his beauty. Today, Garfield simply awaits one thing: A family that will offer him love, patience, and safety to finally turn a new page. He is at Waimes.

About Garfield

What life with Garfield looks like

Garfield is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animals Rescue Association in Liège.

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.
