Kleintje

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 7 years

Dit is Kleintje. Haar naam mag dan klein klinken, haar persoonlijkheid is dat allesbehalve. Kleintje houdt van gezelschap: ze zit graag in je buurt, volgt je met interesse en is helemaal tevreden als jij er gewoon bent. Aaien? Nee dank je. Dat hoofdstuk heeft ze vriendelijk (en soms iets minder vriendelijk) afgesloten. Haar motto: kijken mag, aanraken niet. Kleintje is dus geen schootzitter en ook geen knuffelkat, maar wél een kat met karakter. Ze weet perfect wat ze wil en laat dat ook duidelijk merken. Daarom zoeken we voor haar een plek waar ze volledig haar eigen ding mag doen. Ideaal zou Kleintje terechtkomen als boerderijkat of op een erf, waar ze buiten kan leven, haar eigen ritme kan volgen en geen verplichtingen heeft om gezellig te doen als ze daar geen zin in heeft. Binnen wonen is niets voor haar; vrijheid en ruimte des te meer. Zoek je geen knuffelkat, maar wel een onafhankelijke dame die haar aanwezigheid schenkt op haar voorwaarden? Dan is Kleintje misschien wel jouw perfecte match. Eigenzinnig, eerlijk en helemaal zichzelf.

About Kleintje

What life with Kleintje looks like

Kleintje is a small adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Dierenbescherming Mechelen in Mechelen.

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 Kleintje, answered.

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