Bella

Female · Young · 1 year

Bella is a sweet little female hamster who arrived at the shelter after being surrendered by her owner. Purchased from a pet store about five months ago, Bella lived in a house where the cat would regularly try to catch her. To avoid any accidents, her owner decided to give her to us. Bella is a particularly cute and curious little hamster! She doesn't hesitate to leave her hiding place to observe what's going on around her and even lets herself be petted when she's comfortable. She is now looking for a home where she can evolve safely, away from predators and in an environment adapted to her needs. Her ideal home: A spacious, secure habitat adapted to hamsters. A thick layer of substrate to dig tunnels. Hideouts, a suitable wheel and varied enrichments. A quiet environment, with no access for cats or dogs. People who respect her rhythm and rest periods.

Bella est une petite hamster particulièrement mignonne et curieuse ! Elle n'hésite pas à sortir de sa cachette pour observer ce qui se passe autour d'elle et se laisse même caresser lorsqu'elle est à l'aise.

Son foyer idéal : Un habitat spacieux, sécurisé et adapté aux hamsters. Une épaisse couche de substrat pour creuser des galeries. Des cachettes, une roue adaptée et des enrichissements variés.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a young adult animal waiting at SRPA Veeweyde Brussels in Brussels.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Bella far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SRPA Veeweyde Brussels handles screening and the adoption contract directly — 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?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask SRPA Veeweyde Brussels what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Bella already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Bella. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SRPA Veeweyde Brussels, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bella isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SRPA Veeweyde Brussels about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
