Adopt Lily

European Shorthair Β· Female Β· Young Β· 2 years

I am almost 2 years old and a elegant black cat with a heart of gold. I am super loving and enjoy quiet company. Other cats? I can get along just fine with them. And I also click it with calm children. Dogs, I prefer to let pass by - that simply is not my thing. What truly makes me happy is height and fresh air 🌿. A scratching post by the window or a tree in the garden, and I am in my element. I like to perch high to observe everything quietly before I spring into action. Are you looking for a loving, quiet cat for a house with a garden? Then come meet me for sure.

Ik ben bijna 2 jaar en een elegant zwart poesje met een hart van goud. Ik ben super lief en geniet van rustige gezelligheid. Andere katten? Daar kan ik prima mee overweg. En met rustige kinderen klikt het ook goed. Honden laat ik liever aan mij voorbijgaan - dat is gewoon niet mijn ding. Wat mij echt gelukkig maakt is hoogte en buitenlucht 🌿. Een krabpaal bij het raam of een boom in de tuin, en ik ben in mijn element. Ik zit graag hoog om alles rustig te observeren voor ik zelf in actie schiet. Zoek jij een lieve, rustige kat voor een huis met tuin? Kom dan zeker eens kennis maken. Ik kan niet wachten om mijn klimkunsten voor je te tonen πŸ˜‰

About Lily

What life with Lily looks like

Lily is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Schoten in Schoten.

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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺAdopting 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 Lily, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lily?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Schoten handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lily on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lily if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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 Lily 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lily isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierenasiel Schoten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lily 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 β€” 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.
