Adopt NINNY

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Arrivée au refuge en Avril 2024, Ninny est une magnifique chatte tricolore au regard perçant. Mais elle est aussi une chatte indépendante, au tempérament affirmé, qui a besoin de parcimonie dans l’attention qu’on lui porte. Elle vous demandera caresses et montre qu’elle peut être câline, mais il ne faudra pas l’étouffer d’affection. Ninny a été abandonnée après 6 ans de vie de famille. Elle vivait en appartement et a fait une chute de plusieurs étages. Ce traumatisme l’a rendue agressive et Ninny n’a plus jamais su vivre au sein de son lieu de vie. Ninny est donc arrivée chez nous au refuge et a eu besoin de beaucoup de temps pour lui prouver notre patience, douceur et respect inconditionnel pour ses signaux. La promiscuité avec les autres chats est bien difficile pour elle. Elle est sans cesse sur ses gardes et souvent nerveuse, rêvant d’un territoire calme, à elle. Après 1 an et demi d’attente, Ninny a, enfin, elle aussi, trouvé sa nouvelle compagnie et sa nouvelle demeure. Tout semblait filer le parfait bonheur pour tout le reste de sa vie. L’idylle n’aura duré qu’un mois. Ninny est redevenue agressive alors qu’elle semblait vivre une relation fusionnelle comme jamais nous l’avions vue et imaginée. Ninny n’a plus voulu de ce contact si rapproché. Elle se cachait, se faufilait dans les recoins les plus étroits, feulait à la moindre approche et attaquait sans prévenir, non par méchanceté, mais parce qu’un rejet inexplicable était plus fort que tout, vivant dans un stress permanent. Nous devions tous nous rendre à la triste évidence : repartir de zéro et refaire ce chemin de patience, attendant la famille qui l’attend quelque part. Ninny a besoin d’être comprise et respectée dans ses limites et pour ce qu’elle est : une belle âme indépendante, sachant se montrer douce et câline, sensible et subtile, qui mérite elle aussi sa chance, malgré son atypie. Elle recherche un foyer compréhensif, sensible, une vraie famille, sans conditions, juste pour ce qu’elle est. Une ma

About NINNY

What life with NINNY looks like

NINNY is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at INNI ASBL Refuge pour chats in Belgium.

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 NINNY, answered.

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