Cato

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Ik ben Cato! Als enigste meisje tussen vier broers weet ik prima mijn plekje te vinden! Ik ben een vrolijk, ondeugend meisje dat graag speelt en op ontdekking gaat. En natuurlijk doe ik gezellig mee met de jongens! Maar na al dat spelen heb ik ook mijn rustige momentjes. Dan kom ik graag even kroelen… als ik daar zelf zin in heb natuurlijk. Een meisje met haar eigen ritme! Zoek jij een lief, speels zwart-wit vriendinnetje? Dan hoop ik dat jij mij een warm mandje wilt geven! Liefs, Cato

About Cato

What life with Cato looks like

Cato is a 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 Cato, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cato?: 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 Cato on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cato 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cato 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 Cato 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 Cato 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.
