Nola

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Salut, moi c'est Nola ! Je suis une jolie minette de 3 ans, à la recherche de ma famille pour la vie ❤️ Ma passion : explorer tous les recoins de la maison pour dénicher les meilleures cachettes ! Si tu me cherches, il y a de grandes chances que je sois cachée sous une couette ou confortablement installée dans mon petit coin secret. Et si tu as des élastiques ou des cotons-tiges, alors là, tu as trouvé mes jouets préférés ! 😸 Je suis une petite gourmande et une minette jouette qui aime profiter des petits plaisirs de la vie. Je sais rester seule quand tu pars travailler, mais je suis toujours très heureuse de te retrouver à ton retour ! Côté copains, je m'entends bien avec les autres chats. Je suis toutefois un peu réservée et j'ai parfois du mal à trouver ma place face à des félins trop dominants. Il faut savoir que mon passé m'a laissée un peu craintive. J'ai besoin de temps pour accorder ma confiance et de douceur pour me sentir en sécurité. Je préfère venir vers toi de moi-même plutôt que d'être sollicitée : c'est moi qui décide quand c'est l'heure des câlins ! Pour le moment, je n'aime pas être portée dans les bras et les bruits sourds ou les mouvements brusques peuvent encore m'impressionner. Mais quand je me sens bien et en confiance, je sais aussi montrer mon petit côté tendre… Mon moment préféré ? Les câlins dans le lit avec toi le matin ! 🥹💕 Je suis propre et en bonne santé, et je cherche maintenant une famille patiente, douce et compréhensive, qui me laissera évoluer à mon rythme et découvrir petit à petit le bonheur d'une vie sereine. Tu as une petite place dans ton cœur et sous ta couette pour moi ? Peut-être que nous sommes faits pour nous rencontrer. 🐱❤️

About Nola

What life with Nola looks like

Nola is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at HumanIma ASBL in Ottignies (Brabant Wallon).

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 Nola, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nola?
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 Nola on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nola 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nola 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 Nola 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 Nola 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.
