Romana

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Romana est une petite chatte bavarde pleine de charme, à la fois indépendante et affectueuse. Elle aime les câlins, mais n’est pas du genre pot-de-colle ! Son caractère est affirmé : elle sait ce qu’elle veut. Elle a besoin d’un foyer qui respectera son rythme et ses moments de tranquillité. Une famille douce, attentive, avec un peu d’expérience avec les chats, serait idéale pour bien comprendre sa personnalité et ses besoins. Elle souhaite être le seul animal du foyer, sans autre chat ni compagnon à quatre pattes. Comme elle aime le calme, un environnement sans jeunes enfants lui conviendrait mieux.

About Romana

What life with Romana looks like

Romana is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Chats Libres ASBL in Etterbeek (Brussels).

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 Romana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Romana?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Chats Libres ASBL handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Romana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Romana if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Chats Libres 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Romana 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 Romana 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 Chats Libres ASBL early rather than rehoming privately; they know Romana 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 (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
