Ben

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Hello, I'm Ben. My mom says I'm a handsome boy. I have a bit of an atypical appearance, lean and slender with big ears, but that's because of my Siamese genes. Yes, I come from a fancy background, but I don't have an attitude, okay? I'm not difficult. Playing with a ball or a fishing line, a full food bowl (or even better, yummy treats), a soft cushion, and I'm very happy. I also love cuddling, then I can produce quite a few decibels! I don't like being lifted up, but no worries, I'll come to you myself. I'm a friend to everyone. My brother Jerry is a bit more timid, so I'll teach him how to win people over. And I really need a friend, okay, otherwise I'll be bored to tears. I need to get my energy out, right? So, do you want to bring some life to the place and a lovely social friend? I'm your man!

Hallo, ik ben Ben. Ik ben een mooie jongen, zegt mijn mama. Ik heb een beetje een atypisch uiterlijk, rank en slank en met grote oren, maar dat komt door mijn Siamese genen. Ja, ik ben van sjieke komaf, maar ik heb geen kapsones, hoor. Ik ben niet moeilijk. Spelen met een balletje of een hengeltje, een vol etensbakje (of beter nog, lekkere snackjes), een zacht kussentje, en ik ben dik tevreden. Ik hou ook van knuffelen, dan kan ik aardig wat decibels produceren! Opgetild worden vind ik niet leuk, maar geen nood, ik kom zelf wel naar je toe. Ik ben een allemansvriend. Mijn broertje Jerry is nog wat banger, dus ik blijf bij hem. Dan leer ik hem wel hoe je dat doet, mensen om je pootje winden. En ik heb ook echt wel een vriendje nodig, hoor, anders verveel ik me dood. Moet mijn energie een beetje kwijt kunnen, toch? Dus, wil je graag wat leven in de brouwerij én een zalig sociaal vriendje? I’m your man!

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Zwerfkat in Belgium.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇧🇪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 Ben, answered.

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