Pinpin

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Pinpin est un jeune chat noir d’environ 1 an, trouvé errant dans un état particulièrement préoccupant et malheureusement jamais réclamé. Très amaigri, déshydraté et atteint d’un gros coryza au moment de sa prise en charge, ce petit battant a pourtant montré une incroyable envie de vivre et de profiter enfin de la vie. Aujourd’hui, Pinpin a retrouvé de l’énergie à revendre ! Très vif, actif et joueur, il adore s’amuser et partir à l’aventure. Espiègle et plein de vie, il apportera beaucoup d’animation et de bonne humeur dans son futur foyer. Il s’entend bien avec les enfants. Son entente avec les autres chats est encore en cours de test et celle avec les chiens n’est pas connue. Pinpin est propre et un accès extérieur n’est pas obligatoire pour son bien-être. Son test FIV/Felv est négatif. Il garde comme séquelle un ulcère cicatrisé à l’œil droit ainsi que des antécédents de giardiose et de gros coryza. Des rechutes de coryza restent possibles et un suivi vétérinaire devra être assuré si nécessaire. Après un début de vie si difficile, Pinpin mérite enfin de connaître la chaleur d’un foyer aimant où il pourra grandir en toute sécurité. Pinpin est très fusionnel avec Chaplin, une adoption en duo est donc demandée pour leur bien être. Frais d'adoption : 185 euros (comprenant identification, stérilisation, primo-vaccination et 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 Pinpin

What life with Pinpin looks like

Pinpin 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 Pinpin, answered.

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