Adopt Tommy

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 5 years

Tommy is a beautiful 5-year-old cat. He came to us as a stray. Tommy is microchipped but was unfortunately not picked up. It is currently still impossible to touch Tommy. He bites strongly and also dares to bite. Therefore, Tommy is looking for people who want to let him blossom at his own pace with a lot of love and time. His interaction with other animals is unknown, so we are looking for a home without other animals. Tommy will not be placed with children! Who can give this handsome man a good home? If you are interested, please send us an email with detailed answers to the accompanying questionnaire. Emails without answers will not be answered. Spontaneous visits are not possible. Please do not call. We would like to know first about your home and work situation. – Are there children present? If yes, how old? – Are there dogs present?

Tommy is een prachtige kater van 5 jaar. Hij kwam bij ons terecht als zwerfdier. Tommy was gechipt maar werd jammer genoeg niet opgehaald. Momenteel is het nog onmogelijk om Tommy aan te raken. Hierbij haalt hij stevig uit en durft ook bijten. Tommy gaat dus op zoek naar mensen die hem helemaal op zijn tempo met veel liefde en tijd willen laten openbloeien. Zijn omgang met andere dieren is onbekend dus gaan we op zoek naar een thuis zonder andere dieren. Tommy wordt niet bij kinderen geplaatst! Wie kan deze knappe man een goede thuis geven? Bij interesse kan je ons een mailtje sturen met uitgebreide antwoorden op bijhorende vragenlijst. Mails zonder antwoorden worden niet beantwoord. Spontaan langskomen is niet mogelijk. Gelieve ook niet te bellen. Graag weten wij eerst wat over je thuis en werksituatie. – Zijn er kinderen aanwezig? Zo ja, hoe oud? – Zijn er honden aanwezig?

About Tommy

What life with Tommy looks like

Tommy is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus in Aalst.

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 Tommy, answered.

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