Lea

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 6 months

Lea is a young, energetic 6-month-old female. She is still very playful, curious, and has a feisty personality. In short: a typical young cat with a lot of enthusiasm to explore the world. Because Lea still reacts a bit hissing and grumbling when other cats pass by, she prefers to find a home where she can be the only princess. Lea needs a lot of exercise and thrives with a safe garden to play, run, and play pranks. Will you give this young wildcat a home with a garden and plenty of playtime? Then you'll get a lively, affectionate companion.

Lea is een jonge, energieke dame van 6 maanden. Ze is nog heel speels, nieuwsgierig en heeft een pittig karakter. Kortom: een typisch jong katje met veel goesting om de wereld te ontdekken. Omdat Lea nog wat blazend en mopperend reageert als er andere katten voorbij komen, zoekt ze het liefst een thuis waar ze alleen prinses mag zijn. Lea heeft veel beweging nodig en bloeit helemaal op met een veilige tuin om in te spelen, rennen en kattenstreken uit te halen. Geef jij deze jonge wildebras een thuis met een tuin en heel veel speeltijd? Dan krijg je er een levendige, aanhankelijke kameraad bij.

About Lea

What life with Lea looks like

Lea is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Schoten in Schoten.

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 Lea, answered.

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