Cheddar

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 5 months

Meet Cheddar! Cheddar was brought to us as a stray and won our hearts from day one. This young female cat, estimated to be around 5 months old, is a real sweetheart. She is affectionate, playful and thoroughly enjoys attention and companionship. She will soon be ready to win over her new family too. 🥰 At Cheddar, we have the impression that her vision is impaired. Her pupil reflex is positive, but her threat reflex is negative. This may indicate impaired vision. Therefore, we are looking for a warm home where she can live safely indoors. Cheddar is not letting this stop her from being a cheerful, playful and curious young cat. Who will give this sweet girl a nice place where she can continue to grow up? 🧡

🧀 Maak kennis met Cheddar! Cheddar werd als vondeling bij ons binnengebracht en wist vanaf dag één onze harten te veroveren. Deze jonge kattin, geschat op ongeveer 5 maanden oud, is een echte lieverd. Ze is aanhankelijk, speels en geniet volop van aandacht en gezelschap. Binnenkort is ze helemaal klaar om ook haar nieuwe gezin voor zich te winnen. 🥰 Bij Cheddar hebben we wel de indruk dat haar zicht verminderd is. Haar pupilreflex is positief, maar haar dreigreflex is negatief. Dit kan wijzen op een verminderd gezichtsvermogen. Daarom zoeken we voor haar een warme thuis waar ze veilig binnenshuis kan leven. Cheddar laat zich hierdoor alvast niet tegenhouden om een vrolijke, speelse en nieuwsgierige jonge kat te zijn. Wie geeft deze lieve meid een fijn plekje waar ze verder mag opgroeien? 🧡

About Cheddar

What life with Cheddar looks like

Cheddar is a kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Ganzeweide in Veurne.

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 Cheddar, answered.

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