Tokyo

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

Tokyo is a 1 year and 6 months old female cat found on the streets. She lived outside with Bali before being taken in by the SOS Stray Cats association. Both quickly showed they were not completely wild and were still looking for human contact. A bit timid at first, Tokyo is the more reserved of the two and will need a little more time to gain confidence. She quickly relaxes to reveal a sweet, affectionate, and very kind little cat. We want to find her a calm home with an outdoor area where she can evolve at her own pace and gain confidence gradually. Her future adopters will need to respect her pace and not force contact. A secure outdoor area can be provided after an adaptation period in her new home.

Tokyo est une adorable femelle de 1 an et 6 mois trouvée en rue. Elle vivait dehors avec Bali avant d’être prise en charge par l’association SOS Chats Errants. Tous les deux ont rapidement montré qu’ils n’étaient pas totalement sauvages et qu’ils recherchaient malgré tout la proximité avec l’humain. Un peu craintive lors du premier contact, Tokyo est la plus réservée des deux et aura besoin d’un peu plus de temps pour prendre confiance. Elle se détend rapidement pour laisser place à une petite chatte douce, affectueuse et très gentille. Nous souhaitons lui trouver un foyer calme avec un extérieur, où elle pourra évoluer à son rythme et prendre confiance petit à petit. Ses futurs adoptants devront respecter son rythme et ne pas forcer les contacts. Un accès extérieur sécurisé pourra lui être proposé après une période d’adaptation dans son nouveau foyer.

About Tokyo

What life with Tokyo looks like

Tokyo is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at SRPA Veeweyde Brussels in 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 Tokyo, answered.

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