Statut : Trouvé Race : Européen Sexe : Mâle Puce électronique : 967000010644041Né : 24/09/2024 Pays : Belgique Au refuge depuis : 22/09/2026 Kiwi, un gentil câlin qui a juste besoin d’être rassuréKiwi est un chat européen d’une grande douceur. Il aime les caresses, se laisse approcher et ne demande qu’un peu de réconfort pour se sentir en confiance. Un petit cœur tendre qui n’attend que d’avoir quelqu’un à qui l’offrir.Ses qualités : il est propre, très gentil, supporte bien la solitude et s’entend avec ses congénères. Il se laisse caresser, même par les enfants, à condition d’éviter les gestes brusques.Ce dont il a besoin : de la tendresse, des mots doux et un environnement serein où il se sentira en sécurité. Il peut être un peu stressé en voiture, mieux vaut donc y aller en douceur lors des trajets.Le foyer idéal : une personne, un couple ou une famille calme, avec des enfants respectueux et attentifs. Un jardin serait un plus, mais ce n’est pas obligatoire : Kiwi ne cherche pas vraiment à sortir et pourrait très bien s’épanouir en appartement. Nous ne savons pas encore s’il s’entend avec les chiens : parlons-en ensemble.Kiwi ne demande pas grand-chose : de la chaleur, de la douceur et une présence rassurante. En retour, il vous offrira toute sa tendresse.Envie de lui offrir un foyer ? Pour plus de renseignements et organiser une rencontre en douceur, merci de nous contacter UNIQUEMENT par téléphone au 02 204 49 50.Adoption possible uniquement avec un ''permis de détention d'un animal'' pour les personnes domiciliées en Région Wallonne.

About KIWI

What life with KIWI looks like

KIWI is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Help Animals in Brussels.

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 KIWI, answered.

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