Kenzo

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 13 years

Kenzo here! 👋 I'm Kenzo. I'm 13 years old, the age of wisdom... and especially big hugs! 🐱❤️ They say I'm not my age and I'm in great shape! My story almost turned out badly: after my loving grandma passed away, I almost ended up on the streets. Luckily, the super team at HumAnima saved me. Today, I'm looking for my forever family, the one that will let me write a new chapter in comfort. What you should know about me: - A real clingy: I'm very close to humans. I purr at full volume, I knead like nobody's business and I come to ask for my daily dose of cuddles. 🥐✨ - A big talker: I love to chat! I know how to make myself understood when I have something to say. 🗣️💬 - A bit exclusive: I prefer to be the only king of the house. Other animals are not really my thing. So I'm looking for a home without another cat or dog to enjoy you 100%. 👑 - Nature lover: I've always been used to roaming outside, it would be nice to be able to continue doing so. - I take medication (in a solution to pour into my bowl, too easy!) because I have hyperthyroidism. It costs about thirty euros a month. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion to keep you company, I'm here! Come meet me, I'm waiting with paw on the door. 🐾 See you soon! Kenzo

Chat'lut les humains ! 👋 Moi, c'est Kenzo. J'ai 13 ans, l'âge de la sagesse… et surtout des gros câlins ! 🐱❤️ On dit de moi que je ne fais pas mon âge et que je suis en pleine forme ! Mon histoire a failli mal tourner : suite au décès de ma mamie d'amour, j'ai failli me retrouver à la rue. Heureusement, la super équipe d'HumAnima m'a sauvé la mise. Aujourd'hui, je cherche ma famille pour la vie, celle qui me permettra d'écrire un nouveau chapitre bien au chaud. Ce que vous devez savoir sur moi : - Un vrai pot de colle : Je suis très proche des humains. Je ronronne à plein volume, je fais la « pâte à pain » comme personne et je viens réclamer ma dose de caresses quotidienne. 🥐✨ - Un grand bavard : J'adore discuter ! Je sais très bien me faire comprendre quand j'ai quelque chose à vous dire. 🗣️💬 - Un brin exclusif : Je préfère être le seul roi de la maison. Les autres animaux, ce n'est pas trop mon truc. Je cherche donc un foyer sans autre chat ni chien pour profiter à 100 % de vous. 👑 - Amoureux de la nature : J'ai toujours eu l'habitude de gambader dehors, cela me ferait plaisir de pouvoir continuer à le faire. - Je prends un traitement (en solution à verser dans ma gamelle, trop facile ! ) car je fais de l'hyperthyroïdie. Il coûte une petite trentaine d'euros par mois. Si vous cherchez un compagnon fidèle, affectueux et très présent pour vous tenir compagnie, je suis là ! Venez me rencontrer, je vous attends de patte ferme. 🐾 A bientôt ! Kenzo

About Kenzo

What life with Kenzo looks like

Kenzo is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at HumanIma ASBL in Ottignies (Brabant Wallon).

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇧🇪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 Kenzo, answered.

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