Bella

European Shorthair Β· Female Β· Adult Β· 5 years

Hoi, ik ben Bella 🐱Ik ben een 5-jarige kattin met een prachtige wit-zwarte vacht πŸ–€πŸ€. Ik heb een heel lief karakter en ben graag bij mensen in de buurt. Knuffelen? Ja graag! Kopjes geven? Dat is mijn specialiteit πŸ’› Ik kan ook heel goed opschieten met andere katten 🐱🐱, dus een kattenvriendje of -vriendinnetje is geen probleem voor mij. Na wat spelen rol ik het liefst bij je op schoot voor een dutje 😴 Ik ben rustig, aanhankelijk en ik leer je snel kennen. Zoek jij een lieve, sociale kattin die zorgt voor warmte in huis? Dan ben ik misschien jouw Bella 🌿

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Schoten in Schoten.

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

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺAdopting 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 Bella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Schoten handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bella if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Dierenasiel Schoten 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 Bella 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bella isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierenasiel Schoten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella 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 β€” 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.
