Kruimel

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Here are five unique black-and-white kittens that emerged from a paint pot. Each one has its own special pattern, but they all share one thing in common: a jet-black tail. And if you look closely, you might still see a small white hair somewhere where the painter forgot something... These five kittens are now looking for their forever home. Meet: Crumb... he was once a tiny little fellow. So small that the name Crumb was actually more than logical. But that crumb has grown up now! He has grown from the smallest boy to the biggest of the whole litter, including an impressive long tail that deserves its own zip code. Crumb is enterprising, curious and thinks that there is always something to discover in this house. Open the cupboard? Crumb in. New toy? Crumb must test it first. Something he's not allowed to come into? Crumb has probably already investigated it. From small crumb to big explorer... sometimes I wonder where it went wrong with the name.

Er waren eens vijf spierwitte kittens. Vijf kleine bolletjes wol, zo wit als sneeuw… totdat iemand een pot zwarte verf vond. En ja hoor… daar gingen ze! Een likje hier, een veegje daar, een zwart vlekje op het hoofd, een donkere rug en hier en daar nog wat extra verf. Geen kitten ontsnapte aan de verfkwast. Alleen de staartjes werden een beetje enthousiast aangepakt… die werden bij alle vijf gewoon helemaal zwart! Zo kwamen er uiteindelijk vijf unieke zwart-witte kittens uit de verfpot tevoorschijn. Allemaal met hun eigen bijzondere tekening, maar met één ding gemeen: een pikzwarte staart. En als je goed kijkt, zie je misschien nog wel ergens een klein wit haartje waar de schilder iets vergeten is… Deze 5 kittens zijn nu op zoek naar hun forever home, maak kennis met: Kruimel… ooit was hij maar een piepklein kereltje. Zo klein zelfs dat de naam Kruimel eigenlijk niet meer dan logisch was. Maar ja… die kruimel is inmiddels flink gerezen! Van het kleinste mannetje is hij uitgegroeid tot de grootste van het hele nest, inclusief een indrukwekkend lange staart die een eigen postcode verdient. Kruimel is ondernemend, nieuwsgierig en vindt dat er in dit huis altijd wel iets te ontdekken valt. Kast open? Kruimel erin. Nieuw speeltje? Kruimel moet het als eerste testen. Iets waar hij eigenlijk niet mag komen? Kruimel heeft het waarschijnlijk al onderzocht. Van kleine kruimel naar grote ontdekkingsreiziger… soms vraag ik me af waar het mis is gegaan met de naam.

About Kruimel

What life with Kruimel looks like

Kruimel is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Zwerfkat in Belgium.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇧🇪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 Kruimel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kruimel?
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 Kruimel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kruimel 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kruimel 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 Kruimel 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 Kruimel 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.
