Chonny

Male · Adult · 5 years

Meet Chonny, our handsome 5-year-old teddy bear! This beautiful Exotic tomcat has a calm and sweet nature and loves people. Chonny is social and can get along with other cats and (quiet) children. A busy dog is not his best friend, so he prefers a home without a dog. Chonny is used to living both indoors and outdoors. He enjoys the coziness inside, but also needs a safe garden to sniff around, chill in the grass, and occasionally spy on a fly. Looking for a sweet, calm cuddly cat with that typical sweet Exotic character? Then come and meet Chonny.

Maak kennis met Chonny, onze knappe teddybeer van 5 jaar! Deze prachtige Exotic kater heeft een rustig en lief karakter en is dol op mensen. Chonny is sociaal en kan perfect met andere katten en (rustige) kinderen. Een drukke hond is niet zijn beste vriend, dus liever een thuis zonder hond. Chonny is gewend om zowel binnen als buiten te leven. Hij geniet van de gezelligheid binnen, maar heeft ook een veilige tuin nodig om rond te snuffelen, te chillen in het gras en af en toe een vliegje te bespieden. Zoek je een lieve, rustige knuffelkater met dat typische lieve Exotic-karakter? Kom dan zeker eens kennismaken.

About Chonny

What life with Chonny looks like

Chonny is a adult cat waiting at Dierenasiel Schoten in Schoten.

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 Chonny, answered.

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