How do I contact the shelter about Nala?

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

Can I adopt Nala if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst 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 Nala 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 Nala 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 Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nala 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.

Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

🐾Nala 🐾 Knuffelkat: Ja Ras: Bengaal Geslacht: Kattin Kinderen: vanaf 8 jaar Toegang tot buiten: Nee Andere katten: nee Andere dieren: Niet geweten Zindelijk: JA Meet Nala! Nala is without a doubt our biggest knuffler. Passing by her cage without giving her a pat is impossible! Ignoring her when she wants attention is impossible. She loves nothing more than snuggling and looking for a spot on your lap. Sitting alone at home for days is not for her, so we are looking for a home where she won't be alone all the time. Nala has epilepsy, for which she needs to take medication twice a day. With this medication, her epilepsy is under control and she has no seizures. She currently does not suffer from it, but it is of course important that she continues to receive her medication. This is also the reason why we place her as an indoor cat. She can be placed with children from 8 years old. We prefer to place her in a home without another cat. Soort dier: Kat Geslacht: Vrouwelijk Leeftijd:

🐾Nala 🐾 Knuffelkat: Ja Ras: Bengaal Geslacht: Kattin Kinderen: vanaf 8 jaar Toegang tot buiten: Nee Andere katten: nee Andere dieren: Niet geweten Zindelijk: JA Meet Nala! Nala is zonder twijfel onze grootste knuffelaar. Aan haar hokje passeren zonder een aaitje te geven is onmogelijk! Haar negeren wanneer ze aandacht wil is onmogelijk. Ze doet niets liever dan knuffelen en op je schoot zoeken. Hele dagen alleen thuiszitten is dan ook niets voor haar, we zoeken dus wel een thuis waar ze niet altijd alleen moet zijn. Nala heeft epilepsie, hiervoor moet ze 2x dag medicatie krijgen. Met deze medicatie is haar epilepsie onder controle en heeft ze geen aanvallen. Ze heeft hier momenteel dus geen last van, maar het is uiteraard wel belangrijk dat ze haar medicatie blijft krijgen. Dit is ook de reden dat we haar als binnenhuiskat plaatsen. Ze kan met kinderen vanaf 8jaar geplaatst worden. We plaatsen haar liefst in een thuis zonder andere kat. Soort dier: Kat Geslacht: Vrouwelijk Leeftijd: 05/10/2022

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst 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.
