Mustafa

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Mustafa had been wandering erratically on a field before arriving at the our shelter. She is a cat who had lived independently and is now discovering a safer environment. Mustafa is a fearful cat who will need time, patience, and gentleness to feel safe and establish herself in her future home. Her history as a stray explains her current reserve and her need to evolve at her own pace in a calm and respectful environment. She gets along well with other cats, whose presence can help reassure her and gradually build her confidence.

FR·Show original

Mustafa vivait errante sur un terrain avant son arrivée au refuge. C’est une chatte qui a connu une vie en autonomie et qui découvre aujourd’hui un environnement plus sécurisé. Mustafa est une chatte peureuse, qui aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour se sentir en confiance et prendre ses repères dans son futur foyer. Son passé d’errance explique sa réserve actuelle et son besoin d’évoluer à son rythme, dans un environnement calme et respectueux de sa sensibilité. Elle s’entend bien avec les autres chats, dont la présence peut l’aider à se rassurer et à gagner progressivement en confiance.

About Mustafa

What life with Mustafa looks like

Mustafa 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

Frequently asked

Adopting Mustafa, answered.

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