Ninette

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 15 years

Cats marked for rescue have an even more urgent need to find a family. This can be due to their age, a specific health issue, or distress at the shelter. Ninette was found in a concerning state of health before being taken in by the shelter. Unfortunately, her owner was unable to reclaim her. She had actually been missing for about 6 years, which explains her long journey before finally being found. She is a cat who experienced a long period of straying and now seeks a stable, secure, and comforting environment. Ninette is a friendly and gentle cat who enjoys company and gets along well with other cats. She generally shows pleasant and human-friendly behavior in her interactions. Her story suggests she had to survive alone for a long time, which explains both her resilience and the need to provide her with a very secure living environment.

Les chats signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Ninette a été retrouvée dans un état de santé préoccupant avant d’être prise en charge par le refuge. Malheureusement, sa propriétaire n’a pas pu la reprendre. Elle avait en réalité disparu depuis environ 6 ans, ce qui explique son long parcours avant d’être enfin retrouvée. C’est une chatte qui a connu une longue période d’errance et qui recherche aujourd’hui un environnement stable, sécurisé et rassurant. Ninette est une chatte sociable et douce, qui apprécie la compagnie et s’entend bien avec les autres chats. Elle se montre globalement agréable et proche de l’humain dans ses interactions. Son histoire laisse penser qu’elle a dû survivre longtemps seule, ce qui explique à la fois sa résilience et la nécessité de lui offrir un cadre de vie très sécurisant.

About Ninette

What life with Ninette looks like

Ninette is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Frequently asked

Adopting Ninette, answered.

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