Amiel

Mixed Breed ยท Male ยท Adult ยท 8 years

Amiel (Mieleke, Mielie) is op 11 april 2018 in de opvang geboren als kitten van April. Alles ging goed tot zijn broertje Alpi ziek werd. Weken moest hij gedwangvoederd worden. Uit onderzoek is toen gebleken dat heel de familie PKD heeft. Dit is een erfelijke ziekte waarbij ze heel veel cystes op de nieren hebben en uiteindelijk sterven aan nierfalen. Ze doen het momenteel goed, maar er is er altijd wel eentje die moet overgeven of extra ondersteuning nodig heeft. Amiel is als derde kitten geboren en had toen al een groot geboortegewicht. Hij leek wel een reuzenbaby tussen de andere kittens. Nog geen jaartje oud en hij woog al bijna 6 kilo. Ten opzichte van de rest van zijn familie doet hij het opmerkelijk goed. Zijn aandoening wordt nauwlettend in de gaten gehouden. Ook al heeft hij geen hoge levensverwachting, dat wil niet zeggen dat hij niet alle nodige aandacht en medische zorg verdient. Amiel blijft daarom in zijn pleeggezin onder de vleugels van Cat Shelter. Update 2022: Bij Amiel bleek al snel dat hij aan zijn achterpoten geopereerd zou moeten worden, maar dat dit eigenlijk alleen maar een tijdelijk oplapmiddel zou zijn. Ongemak of pijn wordt met pijnstilling behandeld.

About Amiel

What life with Amiel looks like

Amiel is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Cat Shelter in Belgium.

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 โ€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting 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 Amiel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Amiel?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cat Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Amiel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Amiel if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Cat Shelter 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Amiel 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Amiel isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Cat Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Amiel 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 (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect โ€” 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.
