Kitsune

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Avec sa magnifique robe tricolore, Kitsune est une jeune minette d’environ 1 an qui mérite, elle aussi, de connaître la douceur d’un foyer. Arrivée au refuge dans le cadre d’un trappage pour la stérilisation des chats errants, elle a encore besoin de temps pour apprendre à faire confiance à l’humain. Kitsune est une minette craintive dont la sociabilisation reste à poursuivre. Elle aura besoin d’un environnement calme, de beaucoup de patience et d’une famille capable de respecter son rythme, sans jamais la brusquer. Elle ne conviendra pas à une première adoption ni à un foyer avec des enfants de moins de 12 ans. Elle peut vivre avec d’autres chats, mais pas avec des chiens. À terme, un accès extérieur pourrait être un vrai plus pour elle, une fois qu’elle sera bien installée et suffisamment en confiance. Kitsune ne sera peut-être pas un félin qui viendra immédiatement se blottir dans vos bras, mais elle mérite une chance auprès d’une personne prête à lui laisser le temps de s’épanouir. Parfois, les plus belles histoires commencent simplement par un peu de patience. Frais d'adoption : 195 euros (comprenant identification, stérilisation, primo-vaccination et déparasitage). L'adoption est un acte réfléchi qui implique des responsabilités sur le long terme. Le permis de détention d'un animal est obligatoire pour toute adoption.

About Kitsune

What life with Kitsune looks like

Kitsune is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA La Louvière in Louviere.

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 Kitsune, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kitsune?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA La Louvière handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kitsune on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kitsune if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA La Louvière 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kitsune 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 Kitsune 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 SPA La Louvière early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kitsune 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.
