Simon

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Bonjour, Je suis Simon, le petit explorateur. Je cache ma sensibilité sous mes airs de grand observateur. Très éveillé et curieux de nature, rien ne m'échappe. Je suis intéressé par tout ce qui se passe autour de moi. Je suis aussi un pro des jeux: dès qu'une mouche, une souris ou une balle s'anime, je suis captivé et je révèle toute mon énergie. Une fois la partie finie hop direction gamelle : je suis un gourmet gourmand et je ne rate jamais l'heure des repas! Pour vous montrer ma tendresse il me faudra un ingrédient secret : du temps. Un brin timide au début j'aimerais trouver un foyer patient avec un copain chat pour me sentir en pleine confiance mais une fois rassuré ma curiosité et ma joie de vivre feront le bonheur de ma future famille. J'ai tellement hâte de commencer une nouvelle vie avec vous. Alors êtes-vous prêts à m'ouvrir vos bras, votre cœur et votre maison? A très bientôt. Simon ❤️

About Simon

What life with Simon looks like

Simon is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at HumanIma ASBL in Ottignies (Brabant Wallon).

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇧🇪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 Simon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Simon?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. HumanIma ASBL handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Simon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Simon if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — HumanIma 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Simon 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 Simon 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 HumanIma ASBL early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simon 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
