Madelaine

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Madelaine was found wandering and has never been claimed. She is a very fearful cat who will need time and a lot of patience to trust humans and accept petting. To thrive fully, Madelaine is looking for a calm, kind family ready to respect her pace. Madelaine is a FIV+ cat and will therefore not have access to the outdoors. Without Collar is an active animal protection association in Belgium since 1972. Thanks to our two shelters and our social pension, we save over 1,700 dogs and cats each year that have been abandoned, mistreated, or lost.

Madelaine a été trouvé errante et n’a jamais été réclamé. C’est une chatte très peureuse qui aura besoin de temps et de beaucoup de patience pour accorder sa confiance à l’humain et accepter les caresses. Pour s’épanouir pleinement, Madelaine recherche une famille calme, bienveillante et prête à respecter son rythme. Madelaine est porteuse du sida du chat et ne pourra donc pas avoir d’accès à l’extérieur. Sans Collier est une association de protection animale active en Belgique depuis 1972. Grâce à nos deux refuges et notre pension sociale, nous sauvons chaque année plus de 1 700 chiens et chats abandonnés, maltraités ou perdus.

About Madelaine

What life with Madelaine looks like

Madelaine 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.

🇧🇪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 Madelaine, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Madelaine?
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 Madelaine on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Madelaine 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 Madelaine 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 Madelaine 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 Madelaine 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.
