Lemon

Bengal · Male · Senior · 12 years

Lemon is a 12-year-old neutered male Bengal. Given his age and health issues, we are now seeking a very special home for him that can provide a comfortable and suitable retirement. Lemon suffers from a chronic digestive system disease that causes diarrhea and significant food intolerances. He must therefore receive a specific diet with adapted croquettes, and his diet must be strictly followed. To preserve his digestive balance, he receives a specific diet with adapted croquettes, which must be maintained in his future home. Particular attention must also be paid to his evolution and veterinary follow-up. For this reason, Lemon must live exclusively indoors: outdoor activities are not possible, as we must be able to control what he eats. We are also looking for a home without other cats, so he does not have access to other food and can live peacefully. But behind this medical file is a very lovable cat. Lemon is very kind, close to humans and particularly demanding of contact. He enjoys the presence, attention and moments of tenderness. His ideal home: An exclusively indoor life. No other cats in the home. Present and attentive adopters. A specific diet strictly followed.

Lemon est un beau bengal mâle castré de 12 ans. À son âge et avec ses problèmes de santé, nous souhaitons aujourd’hui lui trouver un foyer très particulier, capable de lui offrir une retraite confortable et adaptée. Lemon souffre d’une maladie chronique du système digestif qui entraîne notamment des diarrhées et d’importantes intolérances alimentaires. Il doit donc impérativement recevoir une alimentation spécifique, avec des croquettes adaptées, et son régime devra être respecté rigoureusement. Afin de préserver son équilibre digestif, il reçoit une alimentation spécifique avec des croquettes adaptées, qui devra être maintenue dans son futur foyer. Une attention particulière devra également être portée à son évolution et à son suivi vétérinaire. Pour cette raison, Lemon devra vivre exclusivement à l’intérieur : les sorties ne sont pas envisageables, car nous devons pouvoir contrôler ce qu’il mange. Nous recherchons également pour lui un foyer sans autres chats, afin qu’il n’ait pas accès à une autre alimentation et puisse vivre sereinement. Mais derrière ce dossier médical se cache surtout un chat adorable. Lemon est très gentil, proche de l’humain et particulièrement demandeur de contact. Il apprécie la présence, l’attention et les moments de tendresse. Son foyer idéal : Une vie exclusivement en intérieur. Aucun autre chat dans le foyer. Des adoptants présents et attentionnés. Une alimentation spécifique respectée rigoureusement.

About Lemon

What life with Lemon looks like

Lemon is a senior bengal cat waiting at SRPA Veeweyde Brussels in Brussels.

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 Lemon, answered.

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