How do I contact the shelter about Minous?

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

Can I adopt Minous if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Ganzeweide 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 Minous 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 Minous 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 Ganzeweide early rather than rehoming privately; they know Minous 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.

Minous

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 10 years

A sweet senior tomcat looking for a warm home to enjoy his golden years. Don't let my age fool you, I still have so much love to give. I am a real cuddly cat who loves being close to his people. A pat here, a hug there and a cozy spot next to you on the couch... that's all I really need. I have a beautiful long coat, but it does require some maintenance of course. Due to circumstances my coat hasn't always gotten the care it needed lately. That's why they had to shave out some mats and I may look a bit different than usual right now. Luckily my lovely fur is growing back! For me they are looking for a owner who is willing to brush my fur daily. I also let myself be groomed very well and I don't mind a visit to the cat groomer at all. In fact, I let them do everything very bravely. Because I am now a senior they have done an extensive blood test here. And there was only good news: my results are completely fine! So I am ready to pack my suitcase and go to my new home. Are you looking for a quiet, affectionate and grateful friend who likes to live close to his people? Then I would love to come meet you. Who knows maybe I will conquer your couch, lap and heart soon.

Een lieve senior kater die op zoek is naar een warme thuis om van mijn gouden jaren te genieten. Laat je niet misleiden door mijn leeftijd, want ik heb nog ontzettend veel liefde te geven. Ik ben een echte knuffelkat die graag in de buurt van zijn mensen is. Een aaitje hier, een knuffel daar en een gezellig plekje naast jou op de zetel... meer moet dat voor mij eigenlijk niet zijn. Ik heb een prachtige lange vacht, maar die vraagt natuurlijk wel wat onderhoud. Door omstandigheden kreeg mijn vacht de laatste tijd niet altijd de verzorging die ze nodig had. Daarom hebben ze enkele klitten moeten wegscheren en zie ik er momenteel misschien een beetje anders uit dan normaal. Gelukkig groeit mijn mooie pels weer terug! Voor mij zoeken we dan ook een baasje dat bereid is om mijn vacht dagelijks even te borstelen. Ik laat me bovendien heel goed verzorgen en een bezoekje aan de kattentrimmer af en toe vind ik helemaal niet erg. Sterker nog, ik laat het allemaal heel braaf toe. Omdat ik ondertussen een senior ben, hebben ze hier ook een uitgebreid bloedonderzoek laten uitvoeren. En daar kwam alleen maar goed nieuws uit: mijn resultaten zijn helemaal in orde! Ik ben dus klaar om mijn koffertje te pakken en naar mijn nieuwe thuis te vertrekken. Zoek je een rustige, aanhankelijke en dankbare vriend die graag dicht bij zijn mensen leeft? Dan kom ik heel graag kennismaken. Wie weet mag ik binnenkort jouw zetel, schoot en hart veroveren.

About Minous

What life with Minous looks like

Minous is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Ganzeweide in Veurne.

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.
