Blue

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 7 years

Lieve Blue was given up to us because she was experiencing a great deal of stress from the other cats in the house, which caused her to regularly urinate indoors. We are therefore looking for a home for her, without other pets or young children. She can get along with children, but because she is very sensitive to stress, we want to keep the number of possible triggers as small as possible. For the rest, Blue is an incredibly sweet and affectionate cat who likes to be close to her owners. She has always lived as an indoor cat in the past, so she is used to a life as an indoor cat. She is currently alone with us and is doing very well, without any urination incidents! If you are looking for an older, sweet and affectionate indoor cat as a companion, Blue might just be the match made in heaven!

Lieve Blue werd bij ons afgestaan omdat ze enorm veel stress had van de andere katten in huis, waardoor ze op regelmatige basis in huis plaste. Daarom zijn we op zoek naar een thuis voor haar, zonder andere huisdieren of jonge kinderen. Ze kan wel met kindjes overweg, maar omdat ze zeer stressgevoelig is , willen we het aantal mogelijke triggers zo klein mogelijk houden. Voor de rest is Blue een ontzettend lieve aanhankelijke kattin, die graag in de nabijheid van haar baasjes vertoefd. Ze heeft in het verleden altijd als binnenkat geleefd, dus ze is een leven als binnenhuiskat gewend. Momenteel zit ze bij ons alleen en doet ze het zeer goed, zonder plasincidentjes! Zoek je een iets oudere, lieve aanhankelijke binnenkat als maatje, dan zou Blue wel eens de match made in heaven kunnen zijn!

About Blue

What life with Blue looks like

Blue is a small adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Dierenbescherming Mechelen in Mechelen.

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

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 Blue, answered.

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