Adopt Gaspard

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 6 years

Gaspard lived on the street and was fed by a lady. Due to an injury on his back, he was treated by her, who then did not have the courage to return him to the street. She therefore looked for a safe place for him. Gaspard is a very shy cat. Having never had a family, he is not used to human contact. But that is not a problem with us, he will be able to thrive at Félinecity.

Read original (fr)

Gaspard vivait dans la rue et était nourri par une dame. Suite à une blessure sur le dos, il a été soigné par cette dernière, qui n’a ensuite pas eu le courage de le remettre à la rue. Elle a donc cherché un lieu sûr pour lui. Gaspard est un chat très craintif. N’ayant jamais eu de famille, il n’est pas habitué au contact humain. Mais cela n’est pas un problème chez nous, il pourra s’épanouir à Félinecity.

About Gaspard

What life with Gaspard looks like

Gaspard is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Les Petits Vieux ASBL in Chièvres.

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 Gaspard, answered.

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