Adopt Rex

Male · Adult · 6 years

WARNING: Keeping a Savannah cat is illegal in Belgium. To be allowed to keep a Savannah cat in Belgium, an exception must be requested from animal welfare! We are therefore looking for owners who are very aware of this and are willing to take these steps. Due to the importance of the living environment for Savannahs, we also request photos of the house and living environment. Rex is a beautiful 6-year-old Savannah. He came to us together with Rambo due to lack of time. Rambo and Rex have always lived indoors. They did not live with other animals or children. Rambo is the tough one of the two. Rex is usually the follower and takes his example from Rambo. He will wait in new situations. He is not car sick and is housebroken. Rex has known allergies. Unfortunately, these were not properly followed up in his previous home. He gets a lot of itching and unfortunately scratches himself until he bleeds. He is currently on special food, Sanimed Skin Sensitive. It is VERY IMPORTANT that he continues to receive this diet at home!! This is more expensive food, so please take this into account! If his allergies flare up, he also needs medication. For Rex's best interest, we ask that the allergies be further addressed by the owner's veterinarian to get them fully under control (and keep us informed). We are therefore looking for owners who are financially able and willing to support Rex for the rest of his life!!! Now Rambo and Rex are looking for their own home. Preferably, our boys are placed together. Applications for either one are also considered. Rambo and Rex will only be placed as indoor cats. A secure outdoor area is a plus. They will not be placed with other animals. They can be placed with children aged 12 years and older who can interact with them properly. They are looking for owners who have experience with the breed or have thoroughly researched it. Who can give him a good home? If you are interested, you can send us an email with detailed answers to the accompanying questionnaire. Emails without answers will not be replied to. Spontaneous visits are not possible. Please also do not call.

OPGELET: Het houden van een Savannah is bij wet verboden in België. Om een Savannah te mogen houden in België dient er dus een uitzondering op de positieflijst aangevraagd te worden bij dierenwelzijn! We gaan dus op zoek naar baasjes die zich hier zeer bewust van zijn en deze stappen willen ondernemen. Gezien het belang van de leefomgeving voor Savannah’s vragen wij ook foto’s van huis en leefomgeving. Rex is een prachtige Savannah van 6 jaar oud. Hij kwam bij ons terecht samen met Rambo vanwege tijdsgebrek. Rambo en Rex zijn gewoon van altijd binnen te leven. Ze leefden niet samen met andere dieren of kinderen. Rambo is de stoere durver van de twee. Rex is eerder de volger en neemt een voorbeeld aan Rambo. Hij zal in nieuwe situaties afwachten. Hij is niet wagenziek en is zindelijk in huis. ! Rex is gekend met allergieën. Deze werden in zijn vorige thuis jammer genoeg niet genoeg opgevolgd. Hij krijgt hierbij heel veel last van jeuk en krabt zich dan jammer genoeg tot bloedens toe. Hij staat hiervoor nu op speciaal eten, sanimed skin sensitive, het is HEEL BELANGRIJK dat hij deze voeding thuis verder krijgt!! Dit is duurdere voeding, hou hier dus zeker rekening mee! Bij een opstoot van zijn allergieën moet hij ook medicatie krijgen. Voor Rex zijn bestwil vragen we om deze allergieën verder op te werken bij de eigen dierenarts om deze volledig onder controle te krijgen (en ons hier van op de hoogte te houden). We gaan dus op zoek naar baasjes die dit financieel willen en kunnen dragen voor de rest van Rex zijn leven!!! Nu mogen Rambo en Rex op zoek naar een eigen thuis. Bij voorkeur worden onze jongens samen geplaatst. Aanvragen voor een van beiden worden ook bekeken. Rambo en Rex worden enkel geplaatst als binnenkat. Een veilige buitenren is een pluspunt. Ze worden niet bij andere dieren geplaatst. Ze kunnen geplaatst worden bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar die op een correcte manier met hen kunnen omgaan. Ze gaan op zoek naar baasjes die ervaring hebben met het ras of zich zeer grondig hebben ingelezen. Wie kan het een goede thuis geven? Bij interesse kan je ons een mailtje sturen met uitgebreide antwoorden op bijhorende vragenlijst. Mails zonder antwoorden worden niet beantwoord. Spontaan langskomen is niet mogelijk. Gelieve ook niet te bellen.

About Rex

What life with Rex looks like

Rex is a adult cat waiting at Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus in Aalst.

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 Rex, answered.

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