Octopus

Mixed Breed · Male

This handsome cat has already experienced a somewhat eventful life during his early years. At the beginning of his life, he shared his time between two homes, a small nomadic life that unfortunately ended with a voluntary abandonment. Today, he simply aspires to what he deserves: a stable, loving and happy home. Very calm and discreet, he is a gentle little companion who likes to quietly observe the life of the house and watch you go about your business, without ever being intrusive. He gets along with other cats and enjoys the presence of children. An outdoor area is not essential for him: what he is looking for above all is the warmth and security of a home where he can finally put down his bags and be loved for life. And if his next home was finally the one where he could stay? Visible at the cat bar "Le Temps D'Un Chat'Fé" in Strepy Bracquegnies Vaccinated, chipped, neutered, dewormed.

Ce joli matou a déjà connu une vie quelque peu mouvementée durant ses 1ères années de vie. Au début de sa vie, il partageait son temps entre deux maisons, une petite vie de nomade qui, malheureusement, s’est terminée par un abandon volontaire. Aujourd’hui, il aspire simplement à ce qu’il mérite : un foyer stable, aimant et heureux. Très calme et discret, c’est un petit compagnon tout en douceur qui aime observer tranquillement la vie de la maison et vous regarder vaquer à vos occupations, sans jamais être envahissant. Il s’entend avec les autres chats et apprécie la présence des enfants. Un extérieur ne lui est pas indispensable : ce qu’il recherche avant tout, c’est la chaleur et la sécurité d’un foyer où il pourra enfin poser ses valises et être aimé pour la vie. Et si sa prochaine maison était enfin celle où il pourrait rester ? En famille d'accueil à Strepy Bracquegnies Vaccinés, pucé, castré, déparasité.

About Octopus

What life with Octopus looks like

Octopus is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Paco Cat in Marcinelle (Charleroi).

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 Octopus, answered.

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