Lena

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Mama Lena Mama Lena heeft haar taak als moeder met glans vervuld en haar kittens liefdevol grootgebracht. Nu is het haar beurt om een eigen warme thuis te vinden waar ze alle aandacht voor zichzelf krijgt. Lena is een lieve en aanhankelijke poes die geniet van gezelschap en gezellige knuffelmomentjes. Ze zoekt graag de nabijheid van haar mensen op en bouwt een sterke band op met degenen die ze vertrouwt. Of het nu is om samen te ontspannen op de zetel of gewoon dicht bij je in de buurt te zijn, Lena waardeert het gezelschap van haar gezin enorm. Zoals veel katten heeft Lena ook haar eigen karaktertje. Wanneer iets haar niet aanstaat of als ze overprikkeld raakt, kan ze soms eens happen om duidelijk te maken dat het genoeg is geweest. Daarom zoeken we voor haar een thuis waar haar grenzen gerespecteerd worden en waar men haar lichaamstaal begrijpt. Geef je haar de tijd en ruimte die ze nodig heeft, dan krijg je er een trouwe en liefdevolle huisgenoot voor terug. Ze mag pas vertrekken vanaf 12 september naar haar nieuwe thuis. Ben jij op zoek naar een gezellige gezelschapskat met een eigen willetje en een groot hart? Dan is Mama Lena misschien wel de perfecte match voor jou.

About Lena

What life with Lena looks like

Lena is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes in Menen.

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 Lena, answered.

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