Kenza

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 8 years

Louisa arrived at the shelter following her owners' departure abroad, who unfortunately were unable to take her with them. She was therefore entrusted to the shelter to find a new family. She is a rather timid cat who will need time, gentleness, and patience to gain confidence and open up at her own pace. Once reassured, she will be able to fully enjoy the presence of her humans in a serene setting. Regarding her interactions, Louisa gets along well with other cats but is afraid of dogs, whose presence should be avoided for her well-being. Louisa has always lived indoors and will therefore be comfortable in a calm, stable, and secure environment without the need for outdoor access. Louisa seeks a patient and kind family ready to offer her the gentleness and stability she needs. In return, she will be able to gradually flourish and enjoy a peaceful life, surrounded by affection.

Louisa est arrivée au refuge suite au départ de ses propriétaires à l’étranger, qui n’ont malheureusement pas pu l’emmener avec eux. Elle a donc été confiée au refuge afin de lui trouver une nouvelle famille. C’est une chatte de nature assez timide, qui aura besoin de temps, de douceur et de patience pour prendre confiance et s’ouvrir à son rythme. Une fois rassurée, elle pourra profiter pleinement de la présence de ses humains dans un cadre serein. Concernant ses ententes, Louisa s’entend bien avec les autres chats, mais elle a peur des chiens, dont la présence sera à éviter pour son bien-être. Louisa a toujours vécu en intérieur et sera donc à l’aise dans un environnement calme, stable et sécurisant, sans besoin d’accès à l’extérieur. Louisa recherche une famille patiente et bienveillante, prête à lui offrir la douceur et la stabilité dont elle a besoin. En retour, elle pourra s’épanouir progressivement et profiter d’une vie paisible, entourée d’affection.

About Kenza

What life with Kenza looks like

Kenza 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 Kenza, answered.

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