Adopt Kicker

Mixed Breed · Male · 21 months

Kicker kwam in opvang tijdens een grote vangactie. Dat bleek hoog tijd, want een forse longontsteking zou binnen de kortste keren voor grote problemen gezorgd hebben. Gelukkig konden we tijdig ingrijpen en is hij ondertussen hersteld. Kicker kan hierdoor wel niet meer de wijde wereld intrekken. Hij komt een beetje met een handleiding. Tijdens zijn tijd in opvang heeft hij al heeft wat stappen gezet wat betreft socialisatie maar hij blijft een beetje een koppige kerel. Aaien is niet aan hem besteed, hij heeft liever dat je niet te dicht contact met hem zoekt. Maar nieuwsgierig naar zijn baasje is hij wel... Vanop afstand voelt hij zich de man en volgt hij graag alles nauwgezet. ’s Nachts als (hij denkt dat) zijn opvangmama slaapt kruipt hij graag aan het voeteneinde of gaat hij trappelen op haar benen. Niet bewegen is dan de boodschap...

About Kicker

What life with Kicker looks like

Kicker is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Poespartoe VZW in Brugge.

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 Kicker, answered.

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