Adopt Mandarine

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 14 years

Mandarine lived on the street, but a lady from the neighborhood took care of her and fed her regularly. Concerned about her well-being, this lady tried to put Mandarine in safety. This cat has probably already known family life, as she is very sociable. Mandarine is in perfect health and will therefore be able to join Félinecity to start a new life.

Mandarine vivait dans la rue, mais une dame du quartier veillait sur elle et la nourrissait régulièrement. Soucieuse de son bien-être, cette dame a cherché à mettre Mandarine en sécurité. Cette chatte a probablement déjà connu la vie en famille, car elle est très sociable. Mandarine est en parfaite santé et pourra donc rejoindre Félinecity pour y commencer une nouvelle vie.

About Mandarine

What life with Mandarine looks like

Mandarine is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Les Petits Vieux ASBL in Chièvres.

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 Mandarine, answered.

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