Meiko

European Shorthair · Female

Meiko is a beautiful little cat with a captivating charm. She is a small stray cat who had to learn to fend for herself before entering the shelter. 🥺 Behind her intense gaze and beautiful black coat is a very kind, gentle, and affectionate cat who doesn't ask for much... just to feel safe. ❤️ However, her past has left some scars: Meiko is afraid of other cats. Life in a group setting is not for her and she would need to find a family that allows her to find the calm and serenity she deserves. ✨ Meiko would now like to turn the page on her life as a stray and start a new story. A story where she would finally be at home, surrounded by kindness, patience, and love. She doesn't need a house full of cats... she just needs a family that will choose to give her a real place. 🖤🐾 Arrived 08/2026, found

À propos À l'adoption Perdus/Trouvés Nous aider Contact > Une jolie demoiselle au charme envoûtant🖤😻…. Meiko est une jolie petite chatte trouvée errante, qui a dû apprendre à se débrouiller seule avant de pousser la porte du refuge. 🥺 Derrière son regard intense et sa belle robe noire se cache une chattounette d’une grande gentillesse, douce et attachante, qui ne demande finalement pas grand-chose… simplement de se sentir en sécurité. ❤️ Son passé a toutefois laissé quelques traces : Meiko craint les autres chats. La vie en collectivité n’est donc pas faite pour elle et elle aurait besoin de trouver une famille qui lui permette de retrouver le calme et la sérénité qu’elle mérite. ✨ Meiko aimerait maintenant tourner la page de l’errance et commencer une nouvelle histoire. Une histoire où elle serait enfin chez elle, entourée de douceur, de patience et d’amour. Elle n’a pas besoin d’une maison pleine de chats… Elle a juste besoin d’une famille qui choisira de lui offrir, à elle, une vraie place. 🖤🐾 Arrivée 08/2026, trouvée

About Meiko

What life with Meiko looks like

Meiko is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at L'Arche de Noé ASBL - SPA Maisières in Mons.

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 Meiko, answered.

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