Adopt Dotje

Mixed Breed · Female

Background Dotje was brought to us together with another cat, there was not enough time and space to care for them. Character Dotje is a sweet, sensitive lady who needed some time to feel safe. Meanwhile, she has fully bloomed with us and enjoys cuddles and attention. She likes playing, quiet moments and sticking her nose in the sun. She is a clingy cat who shows her love clearly once she has gone through her acclimatization period. In a new environment she will first hide and carefully assess the situation. But when she decides the coast is clear, she shows her warm, soft side and knows how to win your heart. Care Dotje has poor teeth and therefore it is necessary to have her mouth checked by a veterinarian every six months. Placement We are looking for a nice home with a garden, children are okay as long as they give her the necessary rest during her acclimatization period. With dogs we are not sure if it will work, probably with a calm dog and good introduction it will. With other cats she can live but here also a good introduction is needed.

AchtergrondDotje werd samen met een andere kat bij ons gebracht, er was niet voldoende tijd en ruimte om voor hun te zorgenKarakterDotje is een lieve, gevoelige dame die wat tijd nodig heeft gehad om zich veilig te voelen. Ondertussen is ze bij ons al helemaal opengebloeid en komt ze graag genieten van knuffels en aandacht. Ze houdt van spelen, van rustige momenten én van haar snuitje in de zon te steken.Ze is een aanhankelijke kat die haar liefde duidelijk laat zien zodra ze door haar gewenningsperiode heen is. In een nieuwe omgeving zal ze zich eerst verstoppen en de situatie rustig inschatten. Maar wanneer zij beslist dat de kust veilig is, toont ze haar warme, zachte kant en weet ze je hart te veroveren.VerzorgingDotje heeft minder goede tandjes en daarom is het nodig om, om de 6 maanden haar mondje te laten controleren bij een dierenarts. PlaatsingWe zoeken een leuke thuis met tuin, met kinderen lukt als ze haar de nodige rust gunnen in haar gewenningsperiode. Met honden weten we niet goed of dit lukt, vermoedelijk met een rustige hond en goede introductie wel.Met andere katten kan ze leven maar ook hier is een goede introductie nodig. Enkel in België

About Dotje

What life with Dotje looks like

Dotje is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenasiel Sint-Truiden in Sint-Truiden.

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 Dotje, answered.

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