Elodie

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Lieve Elodie heeft al veel meegemaakt in haar korte leventje. Ze leefde op een boerderij waar ze volledig aan haar lot werd overgelaten. Pas toen ze iets ernstig aan haar oogje had werd er hulp ingeschakeld. Ze werd bij ons binnengebracht, met een eernstig oogletsel. Achteraf bleek ook dat ze drachtig was van dode kittens door een baarmoederontsteking. Ze heeft alles gelukkig overleefd en ook haar oogje is mooi genezen. Zoals je op de foto kan zien heeft ze er zich wel wat littekenweefsel op gevormd en kan ze door dat oogje ook niets meer zien. Ze heeft er gelukkig geen last vanen geniet van haar nieuwe leventje zonder pijn en ongemak. Elodie zoekt een fijne thuis zonder al te jonge kinderen. Ze zit hier met andere katten samen en dat lijkt prima te gaan. Ze is hetgewoon om buiten te komen en zoekt een thuis waar ze ook buiten kan. Interesse? Vult dan alvast onze vragenlijst voor adoptie in.

About Elodie

What life with Elodie looks like

Elodie is a young adult european shorthair 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 Elodie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elodie?
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 Elodie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elodie 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 Elodie 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 Elodie 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 Elodie 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.
