Igor

European Shorthair · Unknown

Vanaf 11 augustus zijn Igor en Gobi helemaal klaar om te verhuizen naar hun nieuwe thuis. Misschien wel naar die van jullie! Igor is de zelfzekere en sociale avonturier van het duo. Hij is nieuwsgierig, speels en vindt het heerlijk om contact te maken met mensen. Zijn enthousiasme geeft ook zijn broertje telkens weer dat extra duwtje in de rug. Gobi is een wat gevoeliger katje. Hij heeft iets meer tijd nodig om nieuwe situaties en mensen te leren vertrouwen. Hoewel hij graag in de buurt van zijn mensen is, wordt hij niet zo graag opgetild. Met een beetje geduld en respect voor zijn grenzen zal hij stap voor stap openbloeien. Juist daarom plaatsen we deze twee liever samen. Igor geeft Gobi veel vertrouwen en steun, en samen voelen ze zich duidelijk het gelukkigst. Voor dit duo zoeken we een rustige thuis waar ze op hun eigen tempo mogen wennen. Een gezin met jonge kinderen lijkt ons daarom minder geschikt. Andere huisdieren zijn ze momenteel niet gewend, waardoor een thuis zonder andere dieren onze voorkeur geniet. Ben jij op zoek naar twee lieve broertjes die elkaar perfect aanvullen en wil je hen de tijd geven om helemaal open te bloeien? Dan zijn Igor en Gobi misschien wel de ideale match. Vertel ons waarom jullie de perfecte thuis voor dit bijzondere duo zouden zijn. Misschien mogen Igor en Gobi binnenkort samen aan hun mooiste avontuur beginnen.

About Igor

What life with Igor looks like

Igor is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Ganzeweide in Veurne.

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 Igor, answered.

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