Lilly

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Hi, dear friends—I’m Lilly! My foster mom calls me the best flycatcher ever. Seriously, I just catch them right out of the air! What do I do with them? Well, I kill them—nothing else. Leaving the cleanup to her is fine by me—I’m a vegetarian, after all. I’m growing up here surrounded by other cats and dogs, and it’s going great. But people… well, they still make me a little nervous. Don’t get me wrong, I do like them—but I’d rather keep my distance. Kisses and cuddles aren’t really my thing; I’d much rather just be myself. Together with the other kitties, I run and jump around here happily. That’s why it’s absolutely essential for me that there’ll be a feline buddy—a friend—in my future golden basket. Someone I can look up to a bit, someone who might even help me find people a little less scary. What I *do* dare to do? Accept treats. I’d almost commit murder for those! And wet food... mmm, delicious! I get to go outside into the cat run here—and in summer, I love lounging in the sunshine, it’s heavenly! Then I watch the birds, bees, and of course flies buzzing around me. But anyway, I’m getting sidetracked... there’s another fly flying by right now, so I’d better head off. Hope to see you soon! Love, Lilly

Hoi lieve mensen, ik ben Lilly! Mijn opvangmama noemt mij de beste vliegenvanger ooit. Serieus, ik vang ze gewoon uit de lucht! Wat ik ermee doe? Dood maken, verder niks. Het opruimen laat ik mooi aan haar over — ik ben tenslotte vegetariër.Ik groei hier op met andere katten én honden, en dat gaat helemaal prima. Maar mensen… tja, die vind ik nog een beetje spannend. Ik hou wel van ze hoor, begrijp me niet verkeerd, maar liever op een afstandje. Kusjes en knuffels zijn niet zo mijn ding — laat mij maar lekker gewoon mezelf zijn. Samen met de andere katjes ren en spring ik hier vrolijk rond. Daarom is het voor mij echt een must dat er in mijn toekomstige gouden mandje ook een kattenvriendje of -vriendinnetje is. Eentje waar ik een beetje tegenop kan kijken, die me misschien ook helpt om mensen iets minder eng te vinden.Wat ik wél durf? Snoepjes aannemen. Daar zou ik bijna een moord voor plegen! En natvoer... mmm, heerlijk. Ik mag hier lekker naar buiten in de kattenren — in de zomer lig ik het liefst in het zonnetje, heerlijk! Dan kijk ik hoe de vogels, bijen en natuurlijk vliegen om me heen zoemen. Maar goed, ik dwaal af… er vliegt er hier nu weer eentje, dus ik moet gaan. Hopelijk tot snel! Liefs, Lilly

About Lilly

What life with Lilly looks like

Lilly is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Zwerfkat in Belgium.

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 Lilly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lilly?
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 Lilly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lilly 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lilly 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 Lilly 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 Lilly 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.
