Joost

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Joost is a male cat, born in 2023. He arrived at the shelter with two other cats after being rescued from a sad situation where he was confined to a dirty, small room. Upon arrival, he had health issues that required the removal of one eye. Fortunately, everything is now under control and he is ready for the next step in his life. We are looking for a quiet, loving home with a garden for Joost. He enjoys being outside but also appreciates human company. He is very social with other cats and can live with others.

Joost is een kater, geboren in 2023. Hij kwam samen met twee soortgenootjes toe nadat hij bevrijd werd uit een trieste situatie waar hij opgesloten zat in een vuil, klein kamertje. Bij aankomst had hij gezondheidsproblemen wat maakt dat we bij hem een oogje moesten laten verwijderen. Gelukkig is nu alles onder controle en is ook hij nu helemaal klaar voor de volgende stap in zijn leventje. Voor Joost zoeken we een rustige, liefdevolle thuis met tuin. Hij geniet ondertussen enorm van het buiten zijn maar stelt menselijk gezelschap ook zeker op prijs. Hij is heel sociaal met soortgenoten en kan dus zeker met anderen samenleven.

About Joost

What life with Joost looks like

Joost is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Het Dierenthuisje VZW in Geel.

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 Joost, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joost?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Het Dierenthuisje VZW handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joost on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joost if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Het Dierenthuisje 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Joost 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 Joost 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 Het Dierenthuisje VZW early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joost 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.
