Nina

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 5 months

Bonjour, moi c'est Nina ! 🐾 J'ai eu un départ un peu plus timide que le reste de ma fratrie. Arrivée la dernière chez ma famille d'accueil, les humains me faisaient très peur et j'ai eu besoin de plus de temps pour accorder ma confiance. Mais pas d'inquiétude : j'évolue chaque jour, doucement et à mon rythme ! Il suffit simplement de m'apprivoiser avec douceur, sans jamais me brusquer. Pour me sentir en sécurité et m'épanouir, j'ai absolument besoin que l'un de mes frères et sœurs doit à mes côtés. On fait tout ensemble : on joue, on dort, et leur présence me rassure énormément. Je me sens plus forte, et je sais qu'à deux, nous réussirons à vaincre toutes nos peurs ! Si vous êtes une famille patiente, prête à m'offrir du temps, de la compassion et une double place dans votre cœur, remplissez vite le formulaire pour venir nous rencontrer ! 🐱🐱✨

About Nina

What life with Nina looks like

Nina is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at HumanIma ASBL in Ottignies (Brabant Wallon).

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇧🇪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 Nina, answered.

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