Tahïti

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

Tahiti is a sweet, tricolor senior cat around 11 years old who was found wandering, with no one ever coming to claim her. Today, this gentle kitty deserves to finally settle into a loving home where she can enjoy a peaceful and affectionate retirement. Tahiti has a special need: she suffers from reduced mobility and mild ataxia, likely due to an old neurological issue. She will therefore require an environment adapted to her disability: No outdoor access, no stairs, and an easily accessible litter box. Small accidents can also occur. For her well-being, Tahiti is looking for a calm home with no other animals, with children over 8 years old. She will need gentleness, patience, and a family ready to accept her little quirks. Her FIV/FELV test is negative. Tahiti doesn't ask for much: Just a cozy bed, security, and a family that will allow her to live a beautiful retirement, surrounded by love. And if you were the ones to give her this last chance? Retirement basket adoption: 90 euros. Adoption is a thoughtful act that involves long-term responsibilities. A pet license is required for any adoption.

Tahiti est une adorable petite mamie tricolore d'environ 11 ans qui a été trouvée errante, sans que personne ne vienne jamais la réclamer. Aujourd'hui, cette douce minette mérite de poser définitivement ses valises dans un foyer aimant, où elle pourra profiter d'une retraite paisible et remplie de tendresse. Tahiti a une particularité : elle souffre d'une mobilité réduite associée à une légère ataxie, probablement liée à un problème neurologique ancien. Elle aura donc besoin d'un environnement adapté à son handicap : Pas d'accès extérieur, pas d'escaliers et une litière facilement accessible. De petits accidents de propreté peuvent également survenir. Pour son bien-être, Tahiti recherche un foyer calme, sans autres animaux, avec des enfants de plus de 8 ans. Elle aura besoin de douceur, de patience et d'une famille prête à accepter ses petites particularités. Son test FIV/FELV est négatif. Tahiti ne demande pas grand-chose : Simplement un panier douillet, de la sécurité et une famille qui lui permettra de vivre une belle retraite, entourée d'amour. Et si vous étiez ceux qui lui offraient cette dernière chance ? Adoption panier retraite : 90 euros. 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 Tahïti

What life with Tahïti looks like

Tahïti is an 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 Tahïti, answered.

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