Chupachups

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 3 years

Chupa Chups kwam bij ons binnen als vondeling. Er kwam nooit een eigenaar voor hem opdagen. Chupa Chups is een prachtige verschijning, met zijn prachtig groen ogen, maar hij heeft ook een klein minpuntje. Zijn pootjes vooraan staan niet zoals het hoort en ook zijn achterhand is zeer stijf. We weten niet wat de oorzaak is, maar er zijn gelukkig geen breuken of andere problemen aan zijn beenderen vastgesteld door de specialist. De dierenarts vermoedt een genetische en/of neurologische afwijking. Door zijn afwijkende gang, plaatsen we hem liever als binnenkat. Buiten zijn kleine handicap is Chupa Chups wel een ontzettend lieve kat, die gewoon een goed thuis verdiend waar hij graag gezien wordt, zoals hij is!

About Chupachups

What life with Chupachups looks like

Chupachups is a small young 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 Chupachups, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chupachups?
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 Chupachups on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chupachups 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Chupachups 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 Chupachups 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 Chupachups 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.
