How do I contact the shelter about Jip?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zwerfkat handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jip on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jip if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zwerfkat 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 Jip 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 Jip 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 Zwerfkat early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jip 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.

Jip

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Hello, I’m Jip! I’m a proud little cat with a big heart—and an even bigger appetite! I love people, but only in my own way. Petting new people still feels a bit exciting to me, but once I trust you, I can really enjoy it to the fullest! Just cozying up together in the same room—that’s something I really love too. Respecting each other’s need for peace and personal space is key! With plenty of time, lots of love, and the right person by my side, I can truly blossom and open up completely. When you come home, I’ll be waiting for you, and I’d love nothing more than to give you a big cuddle first before we carry on with whatever you’re doing! Other animals? No thanks—I tolerate other cats, but I’m not really a fan of all that clingy stuff. Not my thing at all. What I do absolutely love? Food, naps—and snoring. Yes, I’ll admit it: I snore. Loudly. But hey, that just makes me even cuter, right? I dream of a quiet little home with kind people who’ll accept me just as I am—no hustle and bustle, no drama. Just peace, food, a warm spot to sleep, and lots of cuddles together. Do you think you could be my human? If so, drop me a message—I’m eagerly waiting (between naps, of course)! Oh, and by the way, I have to get an injection every month for the pain in my paw from that grumpy vet—but luckily, after each shot, I feel as lively and energetic as ever! Snuggles from Jip!

Hallo, ik ben Jip! Ik ben een trotse kattin met een groot hart, en een nog grotere honger! Ik hou van mensen, maar wel op mijn manier. Aaien vind ik bij nieuwe mensen nog best spannend, maar eens ik je vertrouw kan ik hier volop van genieten!Gewoon gezellig samen in dezelfde kamer zijn, dat vind ik ook heel fijn. Respect hebben voor elkaars rust en ruimte! Met veel tijd, liefde en de juiste persoon kan ik helemaal open bloeien, dan wacht ik je op als je terug komt en wil ik het liefste eerst wat knuffelen voordat je verder doet! Andere dieren? Nee bedankt, ik tolereer andere katten maar ik heb het niet zo op dat klef gedoe! Niks voor mij. Wat ik wél geweldig vind? Eten, dutjes en… snurken. Ja, ik geef het toe: ik snurk. Hard. Maar hé, dat maakt me alleen maar schattiger, toch?Ik droom van een rustig huisje met lieve mensen die mij nemen zoals ik ben. Geen drukte, geen gedoe. Gewoon rust, eten, een warm plekje om te slapen, en samen knuffelen. Denk jij dat jij mijn mens bent? Stuur dan even een berichtje, ik wacht ongeduldig af (tussen twee dutjes door)! Ohja, tegen de pijn in mijn pootje moet ik iedere maand een prik krijgen bij die boze meneer dierenarts, maar gelukkig voel ik mij erna steeds weer springlevend! Snurkjes van Jip!

About Jip

What life with Jip looks like

Jip is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Zwerfkat in Belgium.

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.
