Teddy

European Shorthair · Male

Teddy - Teddy - A teddy bear-like cat named Teddy has been living a life of misery and loneliness for the first three years of his life. He survived on scraps from kind neighbors who fed him, but it was a hard life, facing the cold, terrible heatwaves, and dangers of life on the streets. In this context, even small insects can be dangerous, opportunistic to the point of feeding on animals in a state of weakness. This is what happened to our sweet Teddy, flies attacked him, his eyes, his fur, and he was in a critical condition. Discovered just in time, one more day in this state would have been fatal. Taken to the vet by a good fairy that evening, the two kind-hearted ladies spent their evening saving Teddy, removing all the accumulated fly eggs (hence his shaved tail), rehydrating him, and nursing him. Now look at him! Teddy is a little miracle. This former homeless cat turns out to be an adorable cat, so grateful. We had no trouble caring for him, no signs of aggression, just a little fear at first. Now he greets us with cuddles, comes for his daily caresses, a little happiness. Teddy has come a long way, but he is young and in good health now. Every day he becomes a little more beautiful and confident. It's time for him to know what he deserved from the beginning of his life: a loving family of his own, who will take care of his well-being, comfort, and happiness.

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at L'Arche de Noé ASBL - SPA Maisières in Mons.

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 Teddy, answered.

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