Adopt Will

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Will used to live with an elderly gentleman who unfortunately was no longer able to take care of her, following his entry into a retirement home. She was thus taken in and made safe at the our shelter. She is a fearful cat but not aggressive. She will need time, patience, and gentleness to learn to trust and feel safe. In a reassuring and respectful environment, she will gradually open up and evolve in a serene manner. Regarding her compatibility, Will has lived with many other cats in a caravan environment and may be able to coexist with calm and respectful animals of the same species once she has gained confidence in her new environment. Habituated to outdoor life, she will need secure access to the outdoors in order to fully flourish, explore, and express her natural behavior. Will is seeking a calm and kind family willing to offer her stability, patience, and respect. In return, she will progress at her own pace and be able to offer a beautiful relationship of trust to those who give her the time to flourish.

Will vivait auparavant avec un monsieur âgé qui n’était malheureusement plus en mesure de s’occuper d’elle, suite à son entrée en maison de repos. Elle a ainsi été prise en charge et mise en sécurité au refuge. C’est une chatte peureuse, mais non agressive. Elle aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour apprendre à faire confiance et se sentir en sécurité. Dans un cadre rassurant et respectueux de son rythme, elle pourra progressivement s’ouvrir et évoluer sereinement. Concernant ses ententes, Will a vécu avec de nombreux autres chats dans un environnement en caravane et pourra probablement cohabiter avec des congénères calmes et respectueux, une fois qu’elle aura pris confiance dans son nouvel environnement. Habituée à la vie en extérieur, elle aura besoin d’un accès sécurisé à dehors afin de pouvoir s’épanouir pleinement, explorer et exprimer son comportement naturel. Will recherche une famille calme et bienveillante, prête à lui offrir stabilité, patience et respect. En retour, elle progressera à son rythme et pourra offrir une belle relation de confiance à ceux qui lui laisseront le temps de s’épanouir.

About Will

What life with Will looks like

Will is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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 Will, answered.

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