Ping

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Ping est un adorable mâle tigré de 2 ans qui attend depuis trop longtemps qu’une famille lui donne enfin sa chance. Trouvé errant et jamais réclamé, il garde les séquelles importantes d’un ancien accident, probablement après un choc avec une voiture. Malgré une caudectomie réalisée en juin 2026, Ping reste incontinent urinaire et fécal et nécessite donc une surveillance et des soins adaptés au quotidien. Ses tests FIV/FeLV sont négatifs. Mais derrière ses difficultés, Ping est un chat plein de vie ! Très actif, dynamique et curieux, il adore explorer son environnement et apprécie les caresses. Il peut toutefois se montrer un peu lunatique et parfois un peu brusque dans le jeu. Au refuge, il semble bien s’entendre avec les autres chats. Il pourrait vivre avec des enfants de plus de 5 ans et un accès extérieur lui serait certainement bénéfique. Nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les chiens. Son incontinence entraîne forcément de la malpropreté et demande une famille prête à accepter cette particularité, avec tout ce qu’elle implique au quotidien. Mais Ping mérite tellement plus que son handicap : il mérite un foyer qui regardera le chat adorable, attachant et plein d’énergie qu’il est. Peut-être serez-vous la personne qui acceptera de voir au-delà de ses difficultés et qui lui offrira enfin la vie qu’il attend ? Soyez sa chance. Frais d’adoption : 185 euros (comprenant identification, stérilisation, primo-vaccinationet déparasitage). L’adoption est un acte réfléchi qui implique des responsabilités sur le long terme. Le permis de détention d'un animal est obligatoire pour toute adoption.

About Ping

What life with Ping looks like

Ping is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at SPA La Louvière in Louviere.

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 Ping, answered.

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