Adopt Kenza

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 8 years

Kenza is a stray cat for several weeks, who needs to find a safe and reassuring environment. She could get along with other cats, but is still shy around humans and will need time and patience to feel confident. Kenza will need access to the outside to explore and thrive. She is looking for a calm and patient home, capable of offering her safety, tenderness and stability, so that she can gradually open up and enjoy a peaceful life. 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 dogs and cats each year, abandoned, mistreated or lost.

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.

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.
