Mila

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Mila is a sweet lady with a touch of independence. At the age of 7, she knows exactly what she wants. Petting is fine—as long as it’s at her own pace. She loves giving head bumps and cuddling for a bit, but only when she feels like it. Other cats aren’t necessary for her. Mila prefers to be the sole queen in the house. Older, calm children are welcome. Loud crowds are not her thing. Mila is looking for a quiet, warm home where she can enjoy attention and peace— a place where she can take center stage.

Mila is een lieve dame met een vleugje eigenwijsheid. Op haar 7 jaar weet ze heel goed wat ze wil. Aaien mag, maar dan wel op haar tempo. Kopjes geven en even knuffelen doet ze graag, als zij daar zin in heeft. Andere katten hoeven voor haar niet. Mila is het liefst alleen koningin in huis. Oudere, rustige kinderen zijn welkom. Drukte is niets voor haar. Mila zoekt een rustig, warm nest waar ze kan genieten van aandacht en rust. Een plek waar ze centraal mag staan.

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila is an 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 — 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 Mila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mila?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Schoten handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mila if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mila 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 Mila 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 Dierenasiel Schoten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mila 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.
