Lio

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Lio is een kleine vechter. Hij werd als prematuur geboren en had in het begin veel moeite om genoeg te drinken. Met de papfles werd hij grootgebracht, en ondanks zijn kleine start liet hij al snel zien dat hij een sterke eigen wil heeft. Vandaag is Lio een dapper, speels katertje dat precies weet wat hij wil. Als broer of zus te dicht bij zijn eten komt, durft hij zonder aarzelen zijn pootje op hun snoetje te zetten — niet hard, maar duidelijk genoeg om te zeggen: “Dit is van mij.” Onder zijn zachte streepjes, verstopt in zijn donkere vacht, zie je een echt tijgertje. Zijn naam past hem perfect: Lio is klein van formaat, maar groot in karakter. Hij klimt en klautert overal op, verkent elke hoek van de kamer en maakt het soms een beetje te bont. Hij is een deugenietje, een aapje, een mini‑tijger — maar vooral een dappere kleine man die vanaf dag één heeft laten zien wat hij kan. Lio mag dan klein begonnen zijn, maar hij is uitgegroeid tot een sterke, vrolijke en onverwoestbare persoonlijkheid.

About Lio

What life with Lio looks like

Lio is a very small puppy/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 Lio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lio?
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 Lio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lio 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 Lio 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 Lio 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 Lio 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.
