À propos À l'adoption Perdus/Trouvés Nous aider Contact > Nena n’a pas été très heureuse jusqu’à présent😔 Petite chatte touchante qui nous est arrivée très marquée par ce qu’elle avait vécu🥺…se cachant sous les coussins pendant plusieurs jours, mais cachant aussi un secret qui aurait pu lui coûter la vie si elle n’était pas arrivée au refuge: à la stérilisation notre vétérinaire a découvert un pyromètre, une infection importante de l’utérus qui lui aurait coûté la vie si elle n’était pas arrivée au refuge😱 Car auparavant, il n’y avait pas de soins vétérinaires ! La douleur physique s’ajoutait à la douleur morale! Nena a vécu de nombreux mois seule avec sa compagne-chat Pixie, leur maître étant gravement malade et souvent hospitalisé pour de longues périodes…. Négligée par la force des choses, simplement nourrie par des visites sporadiques, attaquée par les puces…les chattes étaient dans un piteux état ! Quelle triste vie 😞…. Mais nous suspectons aussi un manque d’amour😟… Car, maintenant qu’elle est totalement guérie, Nena se dévoile avec prudence; n’étant pas encore certaine que les mains qui se tendent vers elle vont vraiment lui faire des caresses …ou autre chose …. Une attitude qui nous interpelle beaucoup🤔 Il n’y a aucun doute que Nena n’a pas été aimée comme elle l’aurait dû😞 Mais l’espoir est bien là, la confiance s’installe doucement mais sûrement 😃 Nena est en grande demande d’affection! Elle a très très envie de se laisser aller aux câlins ! La douceur sera la clé de sa métamorphose 🥰 Car derrière sa timidité se cache une petite chatte tendre, sensible et profondément attachante, qui ne demande qu’une chose : découvrir enfin ce que signifie être aimée pour toujours. Arrivée le 02/05/26, abandon

About Nena

What life with Nena looks like

Nena is a 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 Nena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nena?
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 Nena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nena 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nena 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 Nena 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 Nena 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.
