Yassou

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Yassou was a stray cat who gave birth to her kittens in the garden of a lady who then took care of them before they arrived at the shelter. She is a cat with a difficult past, marked by wandering and an alleged period of mistreatment during her temporary stay. Despite this complicated history, Yassou is an adorable cat with humans. She seeks contact, appreciates the presence and attention of people who care for her, and shows great ability to trust. Her story testifies to her resilience and gentleness despite the ordeals she has gone through. We do not yet know how she gets along with other animals, so we will need to make gradual introductions tailored to her pace.

FR·Show original

Yassou vivait errante et a mis bas ses chatons dans le jardin d’une dame qui l’a ensuite prise en charge avant son arrivée au refuge. C’est une chatte qui a connu un parcours difficile, marqué par l’errance et une période de maltraitance présumée durant son accueil temporaire. Malgré ce passé compliqué, Yassou est une chatte adorable avec l’humain. Elle recherche le contact, apprécie la présence et l’attention des personnes qui prennent soin d’elle, et montre une grande capacité à accorder sa confiance. Son histoire témoigne de sa résilience et de sa douceur malgré les épreuves traversées. Nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les autres animaux, il faudra donc procéder à des présentations progressives et adaptées à son rythme.

About Yassou

What life with Yassou looks like

Yassou is a young 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

Frequently asked

Adopting Yassou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Yassou?
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 Yassou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Yassou 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 Yassou 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 Yassou 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 Yassou 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.
