Hector & Hera

Mixed Breed Β· Unknown Β· Kitten Β· 5 months

Hector en Helga kwamen een paar weken geleden in opvang. Ze zijn geboren in een omgeving, met velden en bos en vertoefden meestal in een paardenstal. Gezien ze de eerste maanden van hun leven geen menselijk contact hadden, waren ze dus zeer angstig. Toch maakten ze na enkele dagen al kleine stapjes in de goede richting. Ze durfden al liquid snack te likken in de nabijheid van hun opvangmama. Vooral Hector was dapper en nieuwsgierig. Hij laat zich dan ook graag verleiden om met het hengeltje te spelen. Hera hield zich meestal schuil in een holletje of zelfs achter de kast. De laatste dagen maakt ook Hera vorderingen. Ze laat zich aaien,wat ze in t begin heel eng vond. Maar ze went eraan en spint zelfs. Voor Hector is dit dan weer een stap te ver. Hij houdt niet van die handen en bij een poging om te aaien, zal hij blazen of zelfs willen uithalen. Voor een stukje kippenwit of een liquid snack, overwint hij zijn angst en komt meteen tevoorschijn. Gezien beide katjes nog een weg hebben af te leggen qua socialisatie, worden ze als projectkatje geplaatst. Dwz enkel bij rustige mensen met ervaring met bangere katten, die de nodige tijd hebben om de katjes verder te socialiseren. Met kleine kinderen gaan ze ook geen match vormen. En honden zijn ze ook niet gewend. Wil je Hector en Hera een kans op een gouden mandje geven, neem dan contact op met het opvanggezin en vermeld ook even je woon- werk situatie en je ervaring met katten.

About Hector & Hera

What life with Hector & Hera looks like

Hector & Hera is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at De Snorhaar vzw in Belgium.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months β€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺAdopting 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 Hector & Hera, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hector & Hera?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. De Snorhaar vzw handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hector & Hera on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hector & Hera if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” De Snorhaar 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Hector & Hera 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Hector & Hera isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with De Snorhaar vzw early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hector & Hera 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 β€” 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.
