Oscar

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

Bonjour, moi c’est Oscar 🐾 Je suis un chat très affectueux, sensible et proche de l’humain. J’aime le calme, les câlins et la présence de mes humains. Quand je me sens bien, je deviens aussi curieux et joueur 🎾 Je cherche un foyer doux, patient et chaleureux 🏡 Un jardin est indispensable pour moi, afin que je puisse profiter de l’extérieur en toute tranquillité 🌿 Côté santé, j’ai été opéré pour des calculs urinaires et je dois continuer une alimentation adaptée, qui me convient très bien 🍽️ Je rêve d’une famille prête à m’offrir de l’amour et de la stabilité, et en retour je vous donnerai toute ma tendresse 💞

About Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at HumanIma ASBL in Ottignies (Brabant Wallon).

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

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 Oscar, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Oscar?
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 Oscar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Oscar 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Oscar 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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.
