Adopt Eden

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Name: Eden Birthdate: 13.05.2014 Gender: F Ready: immediately neutered/spayed: yes microchipped and registered: yes Vaccinated: 1X Can get along with children: No Can get along with dogs: no Can get along with cats: No Eden is staying in Gentbrugge. We are looking for a home where she cannot go outside, unless in a catproof garden. Character and background of the cat: Eden came with her brother Emil after a period of 11 years of adoption back in the shelter, because the owner was no longer able to care for them due to illness. In 2014 they were kittens in the shelter together with 3 brothers/sisters. During a check-up with our veterinarian it turned out that Emil had a heart murmur, after which an echo was done, his heart was in a very bad state and before the blood thinners could do their work, Emil died on March 17, leaving his sister alone. Eden herself has problems with her thyroid and needs medication twice a day, she is already well trained and allows this willingly. Due to the loss of her brother, Eden now needs extra love and affection, but she doesn't get along with the other cats in the house, despite attempts at gradual introduction and the use of Feliway, Eden keeps blowing at her fellow residents. It would be very nice for her if she could be adopted by people who are often at home to give her all the attention she deserves. She is very playful and alert, she comes happily to sit on your chest or nestles on your lap, she can seem somewhat nervous, but that is more due to the stressful situation caused by the presence of other cats. Eden is a super sweet cat that you simply melt for when she looks at you with her beautiful pleading eyes! All cats are deparasitized, dewormed, vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and registered. We ask the usual intervention in veterinary costs of 180 euros per cat when the repeat vaccination still needs to be done and 200 euros when both vaccinations have already been given. Adoption process: First a phone call is made to check if there can be a good match between you and the cat, then an appointment can be made for a visit so that you can get to know each other. At adoption, an adoption contract is signed and the adoption fee is paid when collecting the cat. Each cat leaves with a European passport. For more information about the cats or availability, you can contact Lien by phone at number 0477 76 74 96. Please do not email. Please leave a message and your name, phone number and which cat you are calling about if there is no answer. We do not respond to texts. www.katzoektthuis.

Naam: Eden Geboortedatum: 13.05.2014 Geslacht: V Vrij: onmiddellijk Gecastreerd/gesteriliseerd: ja Gechipt en geregistreerd: ja Gevaccineerd: 1X Kan omgaan met kinderen: Neen Kan omgaan met honden: neen Kan omgaan met katten: Neen Eden verblijft in Gentbrugge. Wij zoeken voor haar een thuis waar zij niet naar buiten kan, tenzij in een catproof tuin. Karakter en achtergrond van de kat: Eden kwam samen met haar broertje Emil na een periode van 11 jaar adoptie terug in opvang, aangezien de eigenaar wegens ziekte niet meer voor hen kon zorgen. In 2014 waren zij als kittens nog in opvang samen met 3 broertjes/zusjes. Bij de check up bij onze dierenarts bleek echter dat Emil last had van hartruis waarna een echo gedaan werd, zijn hart was in heel erge staat en nog voordat bloedverdunners hun werk konden doen, overleed Emil op 17 maart, waarna zijn zusje alleen achterbleef. Eden zelf heeft last van haar schildklier en moet hiervoor 2X daags medicatie krijgen, ze is hier intussen heel goed op getraind en laat dit gewillig toe. Door het verlies van haar broertje, heeft Eden nu extra veel nood aan liefde en affectie, maar met de andere katten des huizes wil het maar niet boteren, ondanks pogingen tot geleidelijke introductie en het inzetten van Feliway, blijft Eden blazen naar haar medebewoners. Het zou heel fijn zijn voor haar moest zij geadopteerd kunnen worden door mensen die vaak thuis zijn om haar alle aandacht te geven die ze verdient. Ze is heel erg speels en alert, ze komt met plezier op je borst liggen of nestelt zich op je schoot, ze kan ook ietwat nerveus overkomen, maar dat is eerder gezien de stresserende situatie door de aanwezigheid van andere katten. Eden is een superlieve kat waar je gewoon voor smelt als ze je aankijkt met haar mooie smekende ogen! Alle katten zijn ontvlooid, ontwormd, gevaccineerd, gesteriliseerd, gechipt en geregistreerd. We vragen de gebruikelijke tussenkomst in de dierenartskosten van 180 euro per kat wanneer het herhalingsvaccin nog moet gebeuren en 200 euro wanneer beide vaccinaties al gegeven werden. Adoptieprocedure: Er wordt eerst telefonisch nagegaan of er een goede match kan zijn tussen jou en de kat, nadien kan een afspraak gemaakt worden voor een bezoekje zodat jullie met elkaar kunnen kennis maken. Bij adoptie wordt een adoptiecontract getekend en de adoptiebijdrage wordt betaald bij het afhalen van de kat. Iedere kat vertrekt met een Europees paspoort. Voor meer info over de katten of de beschikbaarheid kan je telefonisch contact opnemen met Lien op het nummer 0477 76 74 96. Gelieve hiervoor niet te mailen. Graag een boodschap inspreken en je naam, telefoonnummer en voor welke kat je belt achterlaten indien er niet wordt opgenomen. Op smsen wordt niet gereageerd. www.katzoektthuis.be

About Eden

What life with Eden looks like

Eden is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Kat Zoekt Thuis vzw in Belgium.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇧🇪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 Eden, answered.

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