Mike 1

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Mike arrived at the shelter after his elderly owner had to enter a retirement home and unfortunately could no longer take care of him. He is a cat who has always lived in a particular environment, sharing his daily life with many other cats within a caravan. Mike is a shy cat, but absolutely not aggressive. He will need time, patience, and gentleness to gain confidence in his new environment and form bonds with his future adopters. His life change is significant, and he will need to be able to evolve at his own pace in a calm and reassuring setting. We do not yet know his interactions with other animals. Therefore, gradual introductions will be necessary if other companions live in his future home.

FR·Show original

Mike est arrivé au refuge après que son propriétaire, un monsieur âgé, a dû entrer en maison de repos et ne pouvait malheureusement plus s’occuper de lui. C’est un chat qui a toujours vécu dans un environnement particulier, partageant son quotidien avec de nombreux autres chats au sein d’une caravane. Mike est un chat peureux, mais absolument pas agressif. Il aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour prendre confiance dans son nouvel environnement et créer des liens avec ses futurs adoptants. Son changement de vie est important et il devra pouvoir évoluer à son rythme, dans un cadre calme et rassurant. Nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les autres animaux. Des présentations progressives seront donc nécessaires si d’autres compagnons vivent dans son futur foyer.

About Mike 1

What life with Mike 1 looks like

Mike 1 is a young 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

Frequently asked

Adopting Mike 1, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mike 1?
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 Mike 1 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mike 1 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 Mike 1 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 Mike 1 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 Mike 1 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.
