Calica

European Shorthair Β· Female Β· Young Β· 2 years

Europese korthaar (kattin) Hallo, ik ben Calica! 🐾❀️ Toen ik hier aankwam, was ik nog een schuw meisje dat mensen liever eerst vanop een veilige afstand bekeek. Vertrouwen moest ik nog helemaal leren. Maar kijk eens naar mij nu! Met tijd, geduld en heel veel liefde ben ik volledig opengebloeid van een bang katje tot een echte flossertje. 😻 Mijn lieve en aanhankelijke karakter is helemaal naar boven gekomen. Ik geniet van aandacht en gezelligheid, al blijft een rustige omgeving voor mij belangrijk. Ik heb al bewezen hoeveel een katje kan veranderen wanneer ze de tijd krijgt om op haar eigen tempo vertrouwen op te bouwen. Nu ben ik klaar voor mijn volgende grote stap: mijn eigen thuis! 🏑 Ik droom van een warm en rustig gezin waar ik verder mag genieten van het mooie leven. Een heel druk huishouden is minder mijn ding. Geef mij maar mensen die tijd voor mij maken, een gezellig plekje om te slapen en natuurlijk regelmatig een flinke portie liefde. Een tuintje waarin ik later veilig kan rondkuieren, op ontdekking kan gaan en van het zonnetje kan genieten, zou helemaal geweldig zijn. πŸŒΏβ˜€οΈ En ik hoef zeker geen enig kind te zijn! Een poezenvriendje is meer dan welkom en ook met een rustige hond kan ik samenleven. Ik heb mijn schuwe leventje achter mij gelaten. Nu ontbreekt er nog maar één ding: iemand bij wie ik voor altijd dat lieve flossertje mag blijven. ❀️🐾

About Calica

What life with Calica looks like

Calica is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at VZW The Lucky Stars 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 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 Calica, answered.

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