How do I contact the shelter about Memo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. De Snorhaar vzw handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Memo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Memo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — De Snorhaar vzw 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 Memo 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 Memo 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 De Snorhaar vzw early rather than rehoming privately; they know Memo 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.

Memo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Meet Memo! Memo is a sweet and calm tomcat who can be a bit cautious and hesitant at first. We've made him a project cat because he needs a bit more time to warm up. However, Memo is definitely not always keeping his distance. When he feels more comfortable, he sometimes comes to you himself for attention. He likes to decide when he's ready for contact. As soon as he indicates this, he can be very good to pet and enjoy the attention. Memo may need some time to build trust. It's important not to force him and let him set the pace. Although he can be a bit uncertain, he's not aggressive, won't scratch, and seeks contact in his own way. We're looking for a calm and patient owner for Memo who will give him the time to get to know his new environment and new people. An owner who understands that trust sometimes comes step by step, but that the moments when Memo seeks contact on his own are very special.

Maak kennis met Memo! Memo is een lieve en rustige kater die in het begin wat voorzichtig en afwachtend kan zijn. We hebben van hem een projectkatje gemaakt omdat hij een katje is die meer tijd nodig heeft om los te komen. Toch houdt Memo zeker niet altijd afstand. Wanneer hij zich wat meer op zijn gemak voelt, komt hij soms zelf even naar je toe voor aandacht. Hij bepaalt graag zelf wanneer hij klaar is voor contact. Zodra hij dit aangeeft, kan hij juist heel goed geaaid worden en kan hij van de aandacht genieten. Memo kan dus wat tijd nodig hebben om vertrouwen op te bouwen. Het is belangrijk om hem hierin niet te forceren en zelf het tempo te laten bepalen. Hoewel hij soms wat onzeker is, is hij niet agressief, zal hij niet krabben en zoekt hij op zijn eigen manier wel contact. Voor Memo zoeken we daarom een rustig en geduldig baasje dat hem de tijd wil geven om zijn nieuwe omgeving en nieuwe mensen te leren kennen. Een baasje dat begrijpt dat vertrouwen soms stap voor stap komt, maar dat de momenten waarop Memo uit zichzelf contact zoekt juist heel bijzonder zijn.

About Memo

What life with Memo looks like

Memo is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at De Snorhaar vzw 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.
