Madeleine

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Madeleine is approximately 3 years old. She was rescued with her kittens during a spay/neuter campaign. Madeleine is a semi-feral cat and does not allow herself to be touched, preferring to live her quiet life at a distance from humans. However, Madeleine is gentle, just fearful and wary. We are looking for a patient person who will respect her pace and accept to give her time to trust. Maybe one day she will dare to approach... or maybe she will remain independent. The most important thing is to love her as she is. Who will offer Madeleine a peaceful home where she can finally live serenely? !! An adoption must be a thoughtful act!! ********************************************** Information about Madeleine Sex: Female Date of birth: 2023 Vaccinated: yes Spayed/neutered: yes Ectoparasite/endoparasite treatment: yes ID: yes Available for adoption If you are interested in Madeleine, click on the link "form for my adoption" and fill out the online form

Madeleine a environ 3 ans. Elle a été récupérée avec ses chatons lors d’une campagne de stérilisation. Petite chatte semi-sauvage, elle ne se laisse pas toucher et préfère vivre sa petite vie tranquillement, à distance des humains. Mais Madeleine est douce, simplement farouche et méfiante. Nous cherchons pour elle une personne patiente, qui respectera son rythme et acceptera de lui laisser le temps de faire confiance. Peut-être qu’un jour, elle osera s’approcher… ou peut-être restera-t-elle indépendante. L’essentiel est de l’aimer telle qu’elle est. Qui offrira à Madeleine un foyer paisible où elle pourra enfin vivre sereinement ? !! Une adoption doit être un acte réfléchis !! ********************************************** Information sur Madeleine Sexe : Femelle Date de naissance : 2023 Vaccinée : oui Stérilisée : oui Traitement ecdo/endo parasitaire : oui ID : oui Disponible à l’adoption En cas d’intérêt pour Madeleine, cliquer sur le lien "formulaire pour mon adoption" et complétez le formulaire en ligne

About Madeleine

What life with Madeleine looks like

Madeleine is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at L in Belgium.

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 Madeleine, answered.

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