Maartje

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Hallo lieve mensen, Ik ben mama Maartje. Mijn pleegzoontje Maxie heeft zich al voorgesteld, dus nu zal ik kort iets over mezelf vertellen. Ik ben een lieve en aanhankelijke dame. Als je me roept, kom ik gezellig naar je toe. Ik ben superfit en speel daarom heel graag. Het liefste speel ik met mijn zoon Maxie, die ik ook met veel liefde was. Balletjes en speelgoedmuisjes vind ik ook erg leuk, maar knuffelen met jullie én met mijn zoon vind ik nóg leuker. Ik ben dol op natvoer en net als Maxie geniet ik op zijn tijd ook graag van een lekker snoepje. Hondjes hoeven voor mij niet per se, maar als ze er zijn, heb ik het liefst rustige honden. Van die druktemakers vind ik maar niks. Ook lig ik graag samen met Maxie in de kattenren. Lekker dicht tegen elkaar aan genieten we van het zonnetje en kijken we samen naar de vogeltjes. Nou, het is weer tijd om Maxie een wasbeurt te geven. Tot snel! En vergeet niet om dat adoptieformulier in te vullen, hè? Dikke knuffel, Maartje

About Maartje

What life with Maartje looks like

Maartje 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 Maartje, answered.

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