Onze

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Onze previously lived with an elderly gentleman who was unfortunately no longer able to care for her and had to enter a home. She lived in a caravan environment before being taken in by the our shelter. She is a fearful cat but not aggressive, and will need time, patience, and gentleness to build trust and calm down. She observes a lot and progresses at her own pace in a calm and safe environment. Regarding her interactions, Onze has lived with many other cats and should therefore be able to cohabitate with other respectful cats of the same species once she feels more secure. Habituated to an outdoor lifestyle, she will need access to the outdoors to fully flourish. Onze is seeking a calm and kind family willing to offer her the stability, security, and respect she needs. In return, she can, at her own pace, regain trust and enjoy a more serene and peaceful life.

​Onze vivait auparavant avec un monsieur âgé, qui n’était malheureusement plus en mesure de s’occuper d’elle et a dû entrer en home. Elle vivait dans un environnement en caravane avant d’être prise en charge par le refuge. C’est une chatte peureuse, mais pas agressive, qui aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour prendre confiance et s’apaiser. Elle observe beaucoup et progresse à son rythme, dans un environnement calme et sécurisant. Concernant ses ententes, Onze a vécu avec de nombreux autres chats et pourra donc probablement cohabiter avec des congénères respectueux une fois rassurée. Habituée à un mode de vie extérieur, elle aura besoin d’un accès à l’extérieur pour pouvoir s’épanouir pleinement. Onze recherche une famille calme et bienveillante, prête à lui offrir la stabilité, la sécurité et le respect dont elle a besoin. En retour, elle pourra, à son rythme, retrouver confiance et profiter d’une vie plus sereine et apaisée.

About Onze

What life with Onze looks like

Onze is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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 Onze, answered.

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