How do I contact the shelter about Wica?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Paco Cat handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Wica on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Wica if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Paco Cat 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 Wica 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 Wica 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 Paco Cat early rather than rehoming privately; they know Wica 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.

Wica

Mixed Breed · Female

Wica is a lovely little girl with a lot of personality and knows how to make herself understood. She accepts petting and moments of tenderness, but on her own terms and when she feels like it. She also knows how to show, with her little signals, when she wants to be left alone. Wica will therefore need humans who take the time to observe her, understand her language, and respect her limits. Wica is not "difficult": she is simply a cat who knows how to set her limits. She deserves a family that will not try to change her, but will take the time to understand and love her as she is. She is simply not the cat that will suit everyone: her adoption is for people with good experience with cats, who will appreciate a small independent companion and respect her personality. - An outdoor area is essential. - No other cats in her future home. - No children under 15 years old. - Older teenagers can be suitable if they are mature enough to understand and respect her needs. Wica does not ask to be changed. She asks only that we learn to know her and respect her wishes. And for the right family, that is exactly what will make their story unique. Wica is in foster care in the Houdeng-Aimeries area. She is vaccinated, chipped, spayed, and dewormed.

FR·Show original

Wica est une jolie petite demoiselle qui a beaucoup de personnalité et qui sait se faire comprendre. Elle accepte les caresses et les moments de tendresse, mais à ses conditions et lorsqu’elle en a envie. Elle sait également montrer, avec ses petits signaux, lorsqu’elle souhaite qu’on lui laisse son espace. Wica aura donc besoin d’humains qui prennent le temps de l’observer, de comprendre son langage et de respecter ses limites. Wica n’est pas « difficile » : elle est simplement une chatte qui sait poser ses limites. Elle mérite une famille qui ne cherchera pas à la changer, mais qui prendra le temps de la comprendre et de l’aimer telle qu’elle est . Elle n’est simplement pas le chat qui conviendra à tout le monde : son adoption s’adresse à des personnes ayant déjà une bonne expérience des chats, qui sauront apprécier une petite compagne indépendante et respecter sa personnalité. - Un extérieur est indispensable. - Pas d’autres chats dans son futur foyer. - Pas d’enfants de moins de 15 ans. - Les grands adolescents peuvent convenir s’ils sont suffisamment matures pour comprendre et respecter ses besoins. Wica ne demande pas qu’on la change. Elle demande simplement qu’on apprenne à la connaître et qu’on respecte ses envies. Et pour la bonne famille, c’est justement ce qui rendra leur histoire unique. Wica est en famille d’accueil dans la région de Houdeng-Aimeries. Elle est vaccinée, pucée, stérilisée et déparasitée.

About Wica

What life with Wica looks like

Wica is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Paco Cat in Marcinelle (Charleroi).

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.
