European Shorthair Β· Female Β· Young Β· 1 year

🐾 Inge zoekt een rustig thuis 🐾 Inge is klaar om haar eigen stekje te vinden, nu ze haar kittens met veel zorg en toewijding heeft grootgebracht. Deze lieve mama verdient het om zelf tot rust te komen en eindelijk de aandacht te krijgen die ze zo hard nodig heeft. Inge is nog een heel bange kat. Wanneer je haar nadert, kan ze blazen uit onzekerheid. We merken wel dat ze al kleine stapjes vooruit zet: we kunnen steeds dichter bij haar komen, maar aanraken durft ze voorlopig nog niet toe te laten. Daarom zoeken we voor Inge een geduldig en rustig gezin, waar ze op haar eigen tempo mag wennen. Met tijd, liefde en begrip kan ze openbloeien en leren dat mensen te vertrouwen zijn. πŸ’› Heb jij een warm hart voor een katje dat wat extra tijd nodig heeft? Dan zou Inge wel eens jouw perfecte match kunnen zijn. Bij interesse gelieve het formulier in te vullen:

About Inge

What life with Inge looks like

Inge is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes in Menen.

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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

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 Inge, answered.

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