Saida

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 13 years

Petite mamy d'environ 12 ans, Saïda a été confiée au refuge dans un état catastrophique et a dû recevoir de longues semaines de soins chez notre vétérinaire afin d'être remise sur pattes. Adoptée une première fois, Saida est malheureusement revenue au refuge... Elle y attend à nouveau de rencontrer sa future famille, pour la vie. Cette jolie mémère avait mis du temps à nous montrer son vrai caractère mais petit à petit, elle s'est révélée câline et adorable avec toutefois... des petits moments de rébellion. Il lui arrive de se montrer un peu lunatique et de nous faire comprendre que ce n'est plus le moment de l'embêter et elle n'aime pas être prise à bras. Saida peut tout de même montrer tout son charme et réclamer plein d'attention. Il lui faudra un environnement adapté à son caractère et à son âge, c'est à dire sans enfants en bas-âge et sans accès extérieur. Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les autres chats. Les chiens sont à éviter ou à tester si petits et calmes, déjà habitués aux chats. Elle est stérilisée, primo-vaccinée, déparasitée et identifiée par puce électronique. Saida reste porteuse du coryza et devra être soignée lors des rechutes. Frais d'adoption (panier de retraire) : 90 euros. Permis de détention obligatoire pour toute adoption.

About Saida

What life with Saida looks like

Saida is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at SPA La Louvière in Louviere.

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 Saida, answered.

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