Milou

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Milou verblijft nog bij haar huidige eigenaars en zoekt een nieuwe thuis. Een thuisje waar ze veel buiten kan om muizen te vangen en in bomen te klimmen, maar 's nachts een warm plekje heeft zou ideaal zijn. Ze zoekt zeker en vast het gezelschap op, maar is ook zeer onafhankelijk. Milou heeft namelijk wel een pittig karakter als in: als het haar niet aanstaat, durft ze uithalen met haar nageltjes. Vooral uit onzekerheid. Ze is jammer genoeg te vroeg van de mama weggehaald waardoor ze geen kattentaal heeft geleerd en ook niet weet hoe ze met frustratie moet omgaan. Ondersteunende medicatie en een goed uitgedaagde omgeving kunnen eventueel wel helpen met dit gedrag volgens de kattengedragsdeskundige binnen de opvang. Echter is de associatie met het huidige gezin en sinds de komst van de baby echter heel negatief en niet meer te doorbreken. Daarom is het beter voor Milou dat ze herplaatst wordt. Wie wil deze prachtige kattin toch een kans geven? Ze vertrekt steriel, gechipt en gevaccineerd. Ze verblijft in Sint-Niklaas. Bij interesse graag onze adoptielijst invullen:

About Milou

What life with Milou looks like

Milou is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Kattenopvang Waasland 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Milou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Milou?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kattenopvang Waasland VZW handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Milou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Milou if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Kattenopvang Waasland 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 Milou 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 Milou 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 Kattenopvang Waasland VZW early rather than rehoming privately; they know Milou 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.
