Adopt Paco

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 15 years

Paco is a neutered male cat, 16 years old, who arrived at our shelter following the passing of his owner. Unfortunately, the family did not wish to reclaim him. Having lived in a quiet environment without other animals, Paco now seeks a peaceful home where he can enjoy a serene retirement. He is a charming elder cat who deserves to quickly find the warmth of a home after this major upheaval. Paco currently eats two fresh pouches per day. Health-wise, Paco arrived at the shelter with a significant amount of tartar and gingivitis. A dental cleaning was performed to improve his comfort. He was also treated for feline infectious rhinotracheitis. This condition can be chronic and will simply need to be monitored by his treating veterinarian, though Paco does not require any special care at present. Despite his age, Paco fully deserves to find a loving family for a peaceful retirement, surrounded by attention and tenderness. This animal needs to be the only pet in the home.

Paco est un mâle castré de 16 ans, arrivé au refuge suite au décès de sa propriétaire. Malheureusement, la famille n'a pas souhaité le récupérer. Habitué à vivre dans un environnement calme et sans autres animaux, Paco recherche aujourd'hui un foyer paisible où il pourra profiter sereinement de sa retraite. C'est un papy attachant qui mérite de retrouver rapidement la chaleur d'une maison après ce grand bouleversement. Paco mange actuellement 2 sachets fraîcheur par jour. Côté santé, Paco est arrivé au refuge avec une importante quantité de tartre ainsi qu'une gingivite. Un détartrage a été réalisé afin d'améliorer son confort. Il a également été traité pour une rhinotrachéite infectieuse féline. Cette pathologie peut être chronique et devra simplement être surveillée avec le vétérinaire traitant, même si Paco ne nécessite actuellement aucun soin particulier. Malgré son âge, Paco mérite pleinement de retrouver une famille aimante pour vivre une retraite paisible, entouré d'attention et de douceur.

About Paco

What life with Paco looks like

Paco is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at SRPA Liege in Srpa Liege.

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 Paco, answered.

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